Police Seize Illegal Cigarettes

The Kenora OPP have taken over $10,000 worth of illegal tobacco off the streets.

Yesterday afternoon police stopped a Dodge Caravan for speeding on Highway 17 West of the city.

OPP searched the vehicle and found 107 cartons of unmarked cigarettes.

As a result the 40 year old driver from Winnipeg has been charged with possession of unmarked cigarettes, and possessions for the purpose of sale contrary to the tobacco taxes act.

He will answer to the charges in March.
