Federal RCMP investigators say that a contraband tobacco investigation has net 27 tonnes of seized contraband cigarettes and a “dismantling” of the criminal network involved in the illicit distribution.
Police unveiled just a fraction – about two pallets worth – of the seizure during a press conference at BC RCMP headquarters in Surrey on Friday (March 8). In total, 45 pallets of illicit tobacco were seized from various locations in Mission and Maple Ridge.
