An N.W.T. judge has ordered authorities to return a Mercedes sport utility vehicle that was seized after a large drug bust in Yellowknife five years ago.
Justice Andrew Mahar made the order In Northwest Territories Supreme Court on Tuesday, dismissing the crown's argument that owner of the Mercedes ML500, Norman Hache, transferred ownership to his mother after it was seized to avoid having to forfeit it.
