Homeowners benefit from storage containers during housing market low

During the housing slump, homeowners are using storage containers to save money.

Container hire is picking up while the housing market remains somewhat stagnant, using the containers as storage while prices pick up.

Homeowners are selling their houses and cashing in by downsizing. They are then putting their possessions into self storage before letting out their houses and renting smaller properties themselves until the market improves.

Man arrested for smuggling £60k tobacco in secure containers

A man was arrested after HM Revenue & Customs seized tobacco valued at £60,000 at Southampton’s container port.

The British man was apprehended on suspicion of trying to avoid paying exercise duty on the 550kg of fruit-flavoured tobacco.

Customs officers discovered the load hidden in a 20ft secure containers at the port on Wednesday.  The man was arrested in London the following day and released on bail.

HM Revenue & Customs spokesman Bob Gaiger said the tobacco had been found hidden in a container purporting to contain soft drinks and household goods.

He said: “The fruit tobacco appears to have been smuggled into the UK on a container ship from Dubai. This type of crime undercuts legitimate retailers and costs the UK economy around £2bn a year.”
