A Hungarian lorry driver has been arrested after more than four million cigarettes were found at Dover.

Customs officers who stopped a Hungarian-registered lorry at the Kent port on Thursday found an estimated £708,000 worth of cigarettes.

The 35-year-old driver from Wekerle near Budapest, was arrested, questioned and bailed pending further inquiries.

Bob Gaiger of HM Revenue & Customs said: "We take a very serious view of cigarette and tobacco smuggling."
