Last Thursday, agents stopped a 17-year-old-girl coming into Canada from Guyana and recovered 16 kilos of cocaine and 395 Ecstasy pills that she had concealed in food she was carrying. $2M HAUL Border agents estimated the haul to be worth more than $2 million. On the same day, a 51-year-old man arriving from Jamaica was caught carrying a kilo of pot worth $20,000. It was wrapped in brown tape and was hidden in his clothes, agents said. The next day, Sept. 3, customs officers found a kilo of cocaine worth $125,000 in a package that was being shipped to an address in Scarborough. HIDDEN IN SUITCASE On Friday agents found five kilos of cocaine taped in cardboard on the inside of double-sided suitcases that allegedly belonged to a 46-year-old man returning from Jamaica. The drugs were estimated to be worth $625,000. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
