Canada’s border agency has seized nearly 1,400 kilograms of contraband cannabis in a major bust at the Port of Montreal.
The cannabis, valued at over $12.8 million, was destined for Nigeria, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said in a Jan. 22 release.
The seizure followed an inspection of a marine container, which was loaded with vehicles and vehicle parts, by CBSA officers from the Montreal Marine and Rail Service on Dec. 27, 2024. The 1,384.5 kilograms of cannabis was found concealed in more than 3,100 sealed packets and packed into 59 large sports bags.
The seized goods have been handed over to the RCMP for further investigation. No arrests have been reported so far….
