Four arrested, 870,000 contraband cigarettes seized, in Dartmouth bust
The province of Nova Scotia is losing millions of dollars every year in tax revenue because of illegal cigarettes like those seized this week.
Service Nova Scotia announced Wednesday it had seized 870,000 contraband smokes following a seven-month investigation conducted with RCMP and Halifax Regional Police.
“This is certainly one of the larger seizures that we’ve made in the last three to four years,” Bernie Meagher, director of audit and enforcement for Service Nova Scotia said on Wednesday.
