WATCH: Canadian warship seizes half-tonne of heroin in Arabian Sea

A Canadian warship has made another major drug bust in the Arabian Sea, where it’s on patrol.

Crewmembers of HMCS Toronto boarded a ship off the east coast of Africa on Wednesday and found more than 500 bags of heroin weighing more than half-a-tonne.

The Canadian Forces says the haul was catalogued, then destroyed.

Two months ago the frigate stopped another vessel in the same area and crew members seized more than 180-kilograms of heroin.
