SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ont. — Police say two young men from New York have been charged after RCMP seized more than 500 kilograms of contraband tobacco that was being off-loaded from a boat in South Glengarry, Ont.
RCMP say investigators with the Cornwall Regional Task Force noticed that a boat was off-loading garbage bags into two pickup trucks early last week.
Investigators say the bags contained 516 kilograms of contraband fine-cut tobacco.
They say two people on the boat fled the scene, and police weren't able to stop them.
But two 18-year-old men from Hogansburg, N.Y., who were at the shore, were arrested and charged with possession of unstamped tobacco.
They're scheduled to appear in court next month.
