A gang who were caught unloading almost four million illegal cigarettes from a lorry in Loudwater have been sentenced.
Sirajadin Bahadin, 45 and Ireneusz Bocian, 55, from London and Faheem Ahmadzia, 55, from Doncaster, were arrested in August 2014 after HM Revenue and Customs officials seized 3.8 million cigarettes as they were being unloaded at a self-storage unit in Loudwater.
