Authorities on both sides of the border say a Toronto couple is facing charges after allegedly trying to smuggle 300 kilograms of methamphetamines into Windsor.
The investigation began on March 4, they said, when a semi-truck was crossing into Canada at the Ambassador Bridge. It was believed to be carrying a legitimate shipment of goods. In a statement, authorities said the drugs were found during a secondary inspection.
After further investigation, it's believed the drugs were coming from a 31-year-old Toronto man and his partner, a 33-year-old woman also from Toronto. Police allege the man was later observed at his home in a moving van, which they stopped. According to police, it had 120 kilograms of cocaine inside.
