A Chinese national has been given a five-year prison sentence after being charged with attempting to smuggle 40 kilograms of drugs from Vancouver to Hong Kong.
The defence and Crown made a joint submission for Yun Chuen Wong, 72, who was arrested at Vancouver International Airport in September 2023 after methamphetamine and cocaine was found in his luggage. He pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of narcotics for the purposes of expropriation and two counts of drug trafficking.
