Police dismantle major tobacco smuggling ring in Ontario
HAMILTON, Ont. – Authorities say a large contraband tobacco smuggling and trafficking operation has been dismantled in southwestern Ontario. It’s alleged the ring was responsible for smuggling more than 66 tonnes of un-stamped water pipe tobacco into Canada since 2010. Nine people are facing charges following a joint investigation by Hamilton and Niagara area RCMP, the Canada Border Services Agency and the Ontario Ministry of Finance. Police say the investigation began in 2011 into a local individual suspected of smuggling un-stamped water pipe tobacco for local distribution. But as the investigation went on, they say a larger organization was uncovered that reached beyond the Hamilton area.
