I did not even know this was a crime.
Only liquor stores, beer and wine stores, and licensed restaurants and bars can legally sell alcoholic beverages.
Maybe they are hardcore alcoholics stocking up before a price increase.
Bootlegging, alive and well in PG. Recall the illegal stills and bootleggers of the 70’s, a good laugh.
Sooo…they hit them again, did they?
If they let the legal liquor vendors to run 24/7 that would put the end to most of bootlegging operations. As it is now a shift worker can’t pick up a 6pack on their way home if they work afternoon shift or night shift
It was expensive to buy liquor after the bars 15 years ago from bootleggers, I wonder what the cost is these days.
Oh come on .. thats just for personal use .. biggest drinking season of the year is only a couple weeks away .
:-)
I remember some booze cans in P.G. Early 70’s, some of them were pretty rough, ‘a dangerous crowd’ some would say. I imagine that the potential for violence has has only increased with the advent of gangs and their meth and crack.

“As it is now a shift worker can’t pick up a 6pack on their way home if they work afternoon shift or night shift” – the pick it up the day before or have it at home already. We don’t need liquor establishments pandering to late night drinkers 24/7. It is crazy noisy with screeching tires and gunned engines around closing time of the cold beer stores as it is.
Which liquor vendor do you live nearby Bent?
Guess wine still is a big seller.
Some of the richest folks in Canada made their money bootlegging
More Beer stores just what we need…Like we don’t have enuff on the Hart…
