TORONTO: The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) seized 118 kilograms of cocaine at Toronto’s Pearson Airport.
During a routine cargo examination of a plane arriving from Mexico on Jan. 17, officers found two large, wooden crates with individual cardboard boxes inside.
Upon opening one of the cardboard boxes, officers discovered a brick-shaped bundle that contained a white powder, that was identified as cocaine.
Inspecting both crates, officers found a total of 100 brick-shaped bundles of cocaine, which was turned over to the RCMP.
In 2015, Toronto CBSA officers made 149 cocaine seizures, totaling about 700 kilograms.
