Canadian border officers have seized $43.7 million worth of cocaine at an Ontario port of entry after inspecting two vehicles driven by Canadian residents arriving from the United States.
The first portion of the drugs was seized on Aug. 13, when border officials inspected a commercial truck arriving from Michigan through the Blue Water Bridge in Port Edward, Ont, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said in a Sept. 3 press release. Upon examination, officials found six boxes containing 150 kilograms of suspected cocaine, with an estimated street value of $18.8 million.
