The Canada Border Services Agency says the driver was arrested and officers seized roughly 65 kilograms of cocaine at the crossing last July after a detector dog raised the alarm during a commercial truck examination.
The truck was carrying a shipment of dried goods bound for Calgary.

The BC Nurses Union has been calling for better protective measures for its members for at least 30 years.

According to the Mounties, this does not appear to be a random act. The area surrounding the scene will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time. IHIT will be working in partnership with Langley RCMP.
Officers attended the scene and located holes in a fence as well damage to the exterior of a residence. The vehicle is described as a white four-door sedan. The investigation is ongoing and a motive has not yet been identified.
