The CBSA and OPP seized 42 kg of suspected heroin at the Peace Bridge port of entry.

A tractor-trailer attempted to enter Canada at the Peace Bridge port of entry from Buffalo into Fort Erie last month.

Upon primary inspection, border services officers referred the tractor-trailer for examination. With the assistance of a CBSA detector dog, border services officers detected and seized 42 kg of suspected heroin concealed in the trailer. The CBSA also seized the tractor and trailer as offence-related property, and two cellphones. All seized items were turned over to the custody of the OPP.

The estimated street value of the drugs seized is $6.98 million.

This investigation remains ongoing.
