Illegal cigarettes seized in Ignace

The Ignace OPP say they seized several cartons of illegal cigarettes following a traffic stop this past weekend.

Police say they pulled over a vehicle Saturday evening around 6:30 because is was operating with just one functioning headlight.

Upon further investigation, officers noticed a number of large cases of unmarked cigarettes in the rear of the vehicle.

He’s due to appear in Ignace Court on March 29th on the charges.
