Both shipments were confirmed to have illegal products and were seized.
“As part of their operating procedures, courier companies report any packages they identify as containing illegal goods to law enforcement,” said Cpl. Gary McLaughlin, Northeast Traffic Services – Cape Breton. “This is instrumental in helping police intercept shipments of illegal goods.”
The investigation is still ongoing, and no charges have been laid at this time.
