Two men arrested after frontier incident

Officers of HM Customs arrested two Spanish nationals at Four Corners frontier station Tuesday afternoon.

The La Linea residents, aged 43 and 25, had been seen by officers at British Lines Road throwing bags over the frontier fence. As Customs approached the men attempted to evade arrest by speeding off in a Spanish registered vehicle. The vehicle was stopped on Winston Churchill Avenue by Customs officers from the land frontier.

Both men were arrested for Imports & Exports Act offences and have been bailed to surrender on July 5th. The vehicle has been seized by HM Customs.
