Five arrests made in cigarette sales
Five arrests have been made at three stores in Kalihi and Waipahu in the past eight days as part of the state's continuing crackdown on the sale of contraband cigarettes.
Arrests were made Wednesday at Nabarrete Store and on Tuesday at Greenland Mart, both Waipahu shops, said Donald Wong, chief investigator with the attorney general's office. The third store in the most recent sweep was Super Mart in Kalihi, on Oct. 31.
The attorney general's office yesterday announced the arrests and the confiscation of more than 100 cartons of cigarettes not bearing the state's cigarette tax stamp.
This brings the number of arrests of shop employees to 34. The enforcement sweep began April 1.
