Pelican Narrows man charged with bootlegging

It’s the kind of crime you would expect to hear about in the Prohibition days of 1920, not 2020.

The RCMP has charged a man in Pelican Narrows with bootlegging under the Alcohol and Gaming Regulation Act.

During the execution of a search warrant at a home, RCMP officers found 30 different-sized bottles of liquor as well as drug paraphernalia.

An air rifle, rifle and shotgun ammunition also were located and seized during the search.

The investigation is ongoing.
