Shepparton police Senior Constable Adam Ashley said police searched five homes and businesses in Shepparton, Mooroopna and Euroa on Thursday.
Police allegedly seized 3500 packets of cigarettes – the majority with 20 cigarettes to a packet – and 28 kg of loose tobacco, Sen Constable Ashley said.
The searches were part of an ongoing police investigation stemming from warrants issued in the district in June over illegal tobacco, Sen Constable Ashley said.
Four people have been interviewed about importing illicit tobacco products and selling goods where duty tax has not been paid.
