GRAND FALLS, N.B. A Nova Scotia man has been fined $57,525 by a New Brunswick court for possessing contraband tobacco.

Investigators believe the illegal cigarettes were destined for Nova Scotia.
Sack, who appeared in court in Grand Falls, also had two outstanding arrest warrants from 2009 for possession of 90,000 illegal cigarettes.
