Canadian border authorities say they seized 29 kilograms of methamphetamine in July after searching the luggage of a passenger at the Vancouver International Airport headed to Hong Kong.

According to an Aug. 5 release from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the methamphetamine was discovered hidden in gift-wrapped packages in two suitcases and led to the RCMP arresting the suspect, a 25-year-old Chinese citizen named Shiyu Deng.
