Six Nations Police investigate tobacco operation
A tobacco manufacturing facility was the subject of a police investigation on Six Nations of the Grand River on Wednesday.
The facility was operated by 'a non-Indigenous criminal network' who don't live on the territory, Six Nations Police said in a Facebook post.
'The profits were in no way invested in or utilized by the community,' it said.
The OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau assisted Six Nations Police Service with the execution of the warrant, the post said.
An earlier Facebook post from the police service said a section of Chiefswood Road was closed between 3rd and 4th Lines while they conducted 'a police operation' at 1342 Chiefswood Rd. It's unclear if the closure was related to the tobacco manufacturing facility investigation.
The post did not say if arrests were made.
In 2020, police busted an illegal tobacco facility on Six Nations in 2020 run by
a GTA-based criminal organization
.
Police have not said if the two are connected.
