Shipment of grapes entering Canada hid massive stash of suspected cocaine
Border officers at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont., found 615 kilograms of suspected cocaine that was hidden in a shipment of grapes.
615 kg seizure took place earlier this month at the Ambassador Bridge
More than 600 kilograms of suspected cocaine — roughly the weight of a concert grand piano — was discovered inside a shipment of grapes intercepted by border officers earlier this month.
The seizure took place on Oct. 15 at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont.
A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency says an investigation is underway with law enforcement partners.
The agency declined an interview and said it doesn't comment on the status of ongoing investigations.
CBSA hasn't provided an estimate of the street value of the 615 kilograms, but earlier this year estimated the value of a cocaine seizure less than half this size at $6.5 million.
