Police seize tobacco allegedly smuggled by snowmobiles along St. Lawrence
Officials say they’ve broken up an alleged smuggling operation that was moving tobacco along the frozen shore of the St. Lawrence River on snowmobiles.
The Cornwall Regional Task Force says officers spotted five snowmobiles pulling snow tub sleds on March 2 and watched as the contents of the sleds were loaded into a cube van near Fraser Point, Que. Task force officers intercepted the snowmobile riders, while Quebec Provincial Police stopped the van and seized 2,678 kilograms of fine cut tobacco.
