Cigarette factory on Six Nation’s reserve run by non-Indigenous criminals and staffed by foreign nationals, police say

Police have uncovered a major bootleg cigarette operation on the Six Nations reserve, run by non-Indigenous criminals and employing 13 foreign nationals. This raid highlights the complex issue of illegal trade and its impact on Indigenous communities, often exploited by external criminal networks. The shutdown of this factory underscores the ongoing battle against illegal tobacco trafficking, which not only undermines legitimate businesses but also poses significant public health risks.
