Canadian border officers in Quebec have confiscated 142 kilograms of cocaine worth $3.5 million after drugs were found in rail containers filled with new vehicles from Mexico, officials said.

The cocaine was discovered by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers in Montreal after the agency received a call from the Canadian National (CN) Railway police last week, the CBSA said in a March 25 press release.
