Border officials are reminding travellers to properly declare items after two drivers were charged for allegedly crossing the Blue Water Bridge with hundreds of bottles of undeclared alcohol.
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers seized 601 60-ounce bottles of alcohol off of two trucks, according to a CBSA tweet.
The total amount of alcohol seized was worth approximately $29,363.
CBSA told Sarnia News Today that the seizure took place on July 10. Both drivers were crossing into Canada from the U.S.
A 35-year-old driver from Ottawa and a 56-year-old from Brampton were both charged under the Customs Act with smuggling, false statements, and evading compliance.
Both of the accused have court dates scheduled for August 23.
