Two Western Shore men are facing theft charges after stealing a mass amount of cigarettes from a gas station.
On Friday, Lunenburg County RCMP responded to a theft complaint at a service station in Lunenburg after a suspect was witnessed on security cameras taking a case of cigarettes from a storage room.
After investigating the incident, police obtained a search warrant for a home in Western Shore Monday, where they found a quantity of stolen cigarettes.
