It’s a huge fine for an Ontario man convicted of possessing illegal smokes.
Kenneth Carew of Maitland, Ontario was arrested last May when a vehicle was pulled over during an RCMP traffic stop near Oromocto.
At that time the RCMP tactical traffic enforcement unit and west district members seized more than 100,000 contraband cigarettes from a utility trailer that was being hauled.
Carew was given a fine this week of $150,000.
