The incident happened on the same day that new tobacco laws passed through State Parliament.
Under the reforms, the maximum penalty for possessing a large commercial quantity of illicit tobacco or vaping products will be $4.2 million for an individual or $21 million for a company, along with up to 15 years imprisonment.
The laws also give authorities the power to shut down businesses suspected of selling illegal products while investigations are carried out.
