WINDSOR JUNCTION: <\/strong>A 58-year-old man from Halifax, along with his two passengers, were arrested by police following a traffic stop on Hwy 102 that resulted in the seizure of stolen alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An RCMP spokeswoman said that on Feb. 2, at approximately 2:45 p.m., an officer patrolling Hwy. 102 in Goffs observed a Hyundai Elantra travelling south and queried the licence plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That query showed the registered owner was suspended from driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer stopped the vehicle and observed a package of unstamped tobacco inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
