Border officials in Canada seized suspected cocaine valued at $23 million from a truck crossing near Sarnia, Ont. On June 12, a secondary inspection revealed 187 kilograms concealed in boxes within the trailer. A 27-year-old man from Brampton was arrested and charged with importation and possession for trafficking. This seizure marks the fourth significant cocaine bust at the Blue Water Bridge this year, highlighting ongoing efforts by the Canada Border Services Agency amid an increase in drug trafficking and federal investments in border security.
The total weight of the suspected narcotics was 187 kilograms, with an estimated street value of $23.3 million, a significant seizure according to the CBSA.
This bust marked the fourth time a significant amount of cocaine coming from the United States was seized at the Blue Water Bridge this year, demonstrating the excellent work being done.
