A new court date has been set for a Hamilton, Ontario man arrested following a traffic stop on Highway 1 east of Indian Head, that resulted in a significant seizure of illegal cigarettes.

35-year-old Sargon Jahn is committed to stand trial next April in Regina Court of King’s Bench, and he’ll make his next pretrial appearance on November 15.

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.
