Cornwall cops could lay new criminal charges on smugglers
An anti-contraband tobacco official says new legislation should beef up police force’s capabilities against cigarette smuggling. The federal government is passing tougher legislation, Bill C-10, that would allow police to slap smugglers with criminal charges, possibly leading to much harsher convictions, said Gary Grant, national spokesperson for the National Coalition Against Contraband Tobacco.
“We’re looking toward a Quebec model,” Grant said, after meeting with Cornwall Community Police Service Chief Dan Parkinson.
