Canadian border agents seize $6 million in cocaine at North Dakota entry point -
The haul was found July 14 in a search of the truck at the Emerson port of entry in southern Manitoba, just north of the border crossing at Pembina, North Dakota, according to a joint statement released Thursday by the Canada Border Services Agency and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Canadian officials said it was the largest narcotics seizure at any Manitoba port of entry in the last five years. “Any disruption to the flow of drugs into this country has far-reaching effects and has a significant impact on the safety of our communities,” said Rob Hill, assistant commissioner and commanding officer of the Manitoba Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
A 31-year-old Winnipeg man was arrested on drug trafficking charges and later released, the statement said.
