Nearly $3 million worth of methamphetamine and cocaine destined for Canada was seized at the Alberta border during two separate incidents in December and January.
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers seized 186 kilograms of methamphetamine and 42 kilograms of cocaine from two commercial trucks seeking entry into Canada at the Coutts port of entry in southern Alberta, the border agency said in a Feb. 25 press release. Coutts is the busiest crossing in Alberta and shares a border with Sweetgrass, Montana.
