A pair of Toronto-area men have been charged following a multi-million-dollar drug bust at the Canada-U.S. border crossing in Windsor.
Brantford police say the seizure happened in the early morning on Dec. 4 when two suspects attempted to enter Canada in a tractor-trailer, registered with a Milton, Ont., company, at the Ambassador Bridge crossing.
“A search of the trailer yielded a seizure of approximately 112 kilograms of cocaine, having a street value of approximately $12 million,” Const. Shane Seibert said in a release.
Seibert said the truck and the suspects were a part of an ongoing investigation that started earlier this year with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) observing a group in Brantford believed to have been operating a cocaine trafficking and distribution business.
The ensemble are accused of moving product through Brantford and surrounding regions.
