NEW YORK (AP) - A Virginia man is facing charges connected to contraband cigarettes.
The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance says it seized 2,701 cartons of cigarettes from a car under surveillance. The department says the cartons had official Virginia stamps but not New York state and New York City tax stamps. Those stamps are required by law.
The man faces criminal charges as well as fines of up to $600 per carton seized.
