Four arrested in Halifax port for cocaine smuggled in container
Four men from South America were arrested in Montreal for trying to smuggle more than 46 kilograms of cocaine into the country, according to the Canada Border Services Agency.
Officers found the cocaine on a Montreal-bound container from Panama on May 2.
The goods in the container had been declared as suitcases, which investigators said was a high risk. After scanning them and finding irregularities, officials found vacuum-sealed packages containing cocaine hidden within the back wall of 10 suitcases.
