CBSA seizes drugs at YVR

  • CBSA seizes drugs at YVR

The Canada Border Services Agency says officers at the Vancouver International Airport seized nearly 25 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed in passenger suitcases destined for Sydney, Australia, in two separate incidents last month.

The agency says border officers used a detector dog to intercept 10 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed in false compartments in two suitcases on July 27th.

Two days later, it says officers intercepted a traveller with nearly 15 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed in vacuum-sealed packages wrapped in clothing.

The agency says both incidents involved Canadian citizens who were arrested by the R-C-M-P's federal serious and organized crime unit with charge recommendations to follow as the investigation continues.
