A joint effort between the police agencies that make up the Integrated Border Enforcement Team (IBET) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has led to the seizure of 189 kilograms worth of cocaine at Alberta’s southern border crossing.
On Nov. 13, police say a commercial truck was trying to get into the province through the Coutts, Alta., border.
After a secondary examination, the drugs — thought to be worth around $2 million — were found.
“The safety and security of Canadians is the RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region’s top priority,” said Supt. Sean Boser with the Alberta RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region in a release.
