A commercial vehicle complaint has led to the Ontario Provincial Police’s Highway Safety Division laying charges against a Stoney Creek man after the discovery of 3.6 million unmarked cigarettes.

The OPP says on Aug. 29 around 10:45 pm a Ministry of Transportation, Transportation Enforcement Officer stopped a commercial motor vehicle for not having a toll transponder on Highway 407, west of Appleby Line in Burlington.

Officers from the OPP’s Highway 407 Detachment were called to assist and under the authority of the Tobacco Tax Act, a search of the commercial motor vehicle was conducted. Cigarettes, that were not marked or stamped with valid legal identification, were found.

Ioannis Fthenos, 33, was charged with possession of unmarked cigarettes for sale, possession of unmarked cigarettes under the Tobacco Tax Act, drive motor vehicle – improper licence, and no toll device.
