Massive Tobacco Bust in Hamilton

In a massive crackdown dubbed Project Track, police seized over 40,000 kg of contraband tobacco and cigarettes worth more than $10 million, plus 300 kg of shisha, a handgun, five cigarette-making machines, three stolen cars, and $25,000 cash—all linked to a sprawling illegal operation across Hamilton and Six Nations. Thirteen foreign nationals were detained, prompting Canada Border Services Agency involvement. Two Hamilton suspects now face trafficking, unlicensed manufacturing, and illegal possession charges, with court dates set for next month. The investigation remains active, underscoring that these illicit networks are still very much alive. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
