A Dauphin business owner is facing multiple charges after RCMP executed a second search warrant in four months at the same Main Street location.
Officers with Dauphin RCMP searched the business on Thursday as part of an ongoing investigation. One man, identified as the owner, was present during the search.
Police seized a range of illegal products, including unstamped tobacco, flavoured nicotine pouches, vaping devices, and liquor being sold without a permit. In total, officers confiscated over 2,000 grams of unstamped nicotine pouches, 138 grams of unstamped tobacco, nearly 3,000 ml of vaping liquid, and hundreds of cigarettes and cigars — some of which were being sold individually, a violation of Canadian regulations.
This follows an earlier raid on December 12, 2024, where officers seized thousands of illegal cigarettes, cigars, and vaping products from the same location.
A 52-year-old Dauphin man has been charged with multiple offences. He was released and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
The investigation remains ongoing.
