Major Drug Bust at local Border Crossing
Canadian border officers have seized close to 1,00 pounds (314 kilograms of Methamphetamine) at the Sumas border crossing in Abbotsford.
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), have released the information that a a foreign national attempted to bring the drugs into Canada using a commercial vehicle. The suspect was arrested, handed over to RCMP, and charged with possession for the purpose of importation and trafficking.
Authorities say the seizure prevented a massive amount of dangerous narcotics from reaching Canadian communities.
This marks one of the more significant recent drug interceptions at the B.C.–U.S. border.
I've been saying for years that bad engineering kills people. I literally have a list of repairs, upgrades and recommendations that I need to make to Surrey Engineering and the B.C. Ministry of Transportation for both roads and highways throughout our community. I won't bore you with all the mundane details but one of them for me is quite literally a low-hanging hemorrhoid that just won't go away.
