    The High Court held the trial judge's credibility and factual findings were supported by reliable evidence (CCTV, conduct at customs, choice of scanner, inconsistencies) and there was no misdirection of law; therefore the conviction was safe and the sentences were appropriate and are to be upheld (fines to be executed from date of appeal disposal; imprisonment terms to run concurrently and only consecutively after any imprisonment for default of fines).
