A Hamilton, Ontario man charged following a traffic stop on Highway 1 east of Indian Head, that resulted in a significant seizure of illegal cigarettes, was back in court last week.

In November of 2022, Saskatchewan Highway Patrol officers pulled over a semi unit, and a search turned up 18 pallets, each containing 30 boxes of unstamped tobacco.

In all,officers seized about 5.4 million cigarettes and over 13-hundred kilograms of shisha tobacco.

35-year-old Sargon Jahn is committed to stand trial next April in Regina Court of King’s Bench, and his next pretrial appearance is set for October 18.
