Smuggling Cigarettes

Manitoba’s Department of Finance says unmarked cigarettes are still making their way across Highway 17 and into the Province.
Spokesperson Dave Couprie says smuggling has decreased but unmarked smokes still manage to make it across the boundary.
Couprie says his Department has been working to curb smuggling with the OPP, RCMP and Northwestern Ontario Municipal Police Forces.
A carton of cigarettes is about $65 in Ontario and $85 in Manitoba.
