The investigation remains ongoing following the discovery of millions of dollars’ worth of cocaine at a southwestern Ontario border crossing.
On May 23rd, Canada Border Services Agency officers intercepted 187.5 kg of suspected cocaine concealed in the trailer of a commercial truck coming into Canada from the United States at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor.
During a secondary examination of the trailer, CBSA officers discovered 2 suitcases and 5 garbage bags containing 161 bricks of suspected cocaine. The approximate value of the cocaine is $23.4 million.
The driver, a 55-year-old from Richmond Hill, was arrested and transferred to RCMP custody. The man has since been charged with importation of cocaine and Possession of Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
