Yellowknife alcohol seizure likely one of largest under liquor act, RCMP say

Hundreds of bottles and cans of liquor ranging in variety from hard root beer to Goldschlagerare now in the hands of Yellowknife RCMP after police executed a search warrant on a city apartment Thursday morning.

According to an RCMP news release, multiple tips led police to an apartment unit on 49 Street in downtown Yellowknife.

After conducting surveillance, police seizedwhat they are calling"likely" one of the largest quantities of illegal alcohol as a result of an N.W.T. Liquor Act search warrant.

Police say charges are pending, but have not specified what those charges are.

The suspect also hasn't been named because the charges are still pending, but RCMP say they are scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 10.
