  • Arrest in smuggling operation: CBSA

The Canada Border Services Agency says a 34-year-old Vancouver resident has been arrested for their suspected involvement in a cigarette smuggling operation.

It says an investigation into the operation was launched in February after C-B-S-A officers intercepted numerous contraband cigarette shipments at Vancouver International Airport Commercial Operations and the Vancouver International Mail Centre.

The agency says they executed a search warrant at a home in Vancouver last month.

It says investigators seized nearly four-thousand cartons of cigarettes, 4.2 kilograms of illegal cannabis and more than 50-thousand dollars in cash and casino chips.
