Customs zero in on two men from Malaysia who are behaving suspiciously. Immigration target a steel fabrication plant suspected of harbouring several illegal workers. And a peculiar package causes a stink in Customs.
Each day, thousands of passengers arrive into Melbourne International Airport, and it’s Custom’s job to risk assess each person to make sure that there are no violations of our laws. Today officers want to take a closer look at two men, who claim to be related and have just arrived from Malaysia. They appear to have over packed for a short holiday and seem nervous. Officers then uncover the name on the first passenger’s credit card does not match the one on his passport. Customs are convinced that the men are here to work illegally. Will their hunch be right?
In the outer suburbs of Sydney, Immigration Compliance Officers are preparing for an apprehension at a nearby steel fabrication plant suspected of harbouring several illegal workers. The officers have to locate and then verify each of the targets on the premises. They seal the perimeter to prevent any targets trying to escape – but surprises are part of the job – and officers can never be exactly sure of what to expect. Each worker is corralled into a contained room to have their identification checked. One by one, the names of any workers under suspicion are verified. But one man seems to be holding back. And his suspicious behaviour has officers concerned. Is he just nervous? Or is he just trying to work out a way to avoid being questioned? The Compliance Team intend to find out.
A suspicious parcel from India has caught the attention of two Customs Officers. The parcel contains several dresses. But they have an odour so strong it’s almost overpowering. The buttons on the dresses also appear to be sewn in odd places. Could there be a possible concealment in these buttons?
At Sydney Quarantine, a passenger from a Middle East flight has declared just a bottle of rosewater. But officers are suspicious that the declaration is a cover for something else. While one officer questions the woman in Arabic, another discovers a heavy package wrapped in paper, with a mysterious label.
