An Ontario man has been charged after the trailer of a transport truck which crashed near Long Harbour was found to be full of contraband tobacco.
The vehicle went over an embankment on the Long Harbour Access Road just before 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
RCMP held the scene overnight. The next day, RCMP searched the truck and found that it was “full of contraband tobacco.”
The exact quantity of the seizure is still being processed.
The operation to remove the truck forced an extended closure of the Long Harbour Access Road on Monday.
The 53-year-old driver has been released from custody and will appear in court at a later date to answer to a number of charges.
