Customs officers have arrested four wedding planners for applying false trade descriptions.
The Customs & Excise Department recently received complaints against two wedding service companies.
In one case the staff allegedly claimed banquet food would be cooked at the wedding venue. Upon receiving a deposit from the complainant, the staff said the food would be provided by a catering delivery service. The cost of the banquet was more than $240,000.
In the other case the wedding ceremony was to be held at a distinctive building. However, it was found to be an illegal structure set for demolition. The wedding service was valued at more than $50,000.
Three women and a man, aged 31 to 42, were arrested and released on bail as the investigation continues.
