A 29-year-old Iqaluit man was arrested Tuesday for bootlegging after 20 large bottles of liquor were seized from his home.
RCMP said in a Thursday news release that they charged the man with one count of "keeping liquor for sale without lawful authority," a violation of Nunavut's Liquor Act.
They said the latest charges are part of an "ongoing ... investigation into allegations of bootlegging" by local RCMP.
The release encouraged residents to "support [RCMP] efforts in identifying those who cause harm from bootlegging."
The man was released from custody and is scheduled to next appear in court on Aug. 30.
