Mounties seize illegal cigarettes

Two Nova Scotia men are facing charges after Mounties seized more than 120,000 contraband cigarettes from their car.

Police officers pulled the car over Wednesday on the Trans-Canada Highway in Saint-André, near Grand Falls.

Besides the cigarettes, police also seized the 2003 Nissan Altima that the illegal tobacco was found in and are seeking forfeiture to the Crown.

The two men, aged 38 and 41 years old, whose names haven't been made public, were released.

They are to appear in court at a later date.
