Blue Water Bridge Cocaine Seizures

Port Huron–Sarnia border officers seized nearly 770 pounds of cocaine last month from two trucks trying to cross the Blue Water Bridge. The first seizure uncovered 331 pounds in six boxes, valued at $18.8 million. The second truck yielded 439 pounds, worth $24.9 million. Both drivers, from the Toronto area, were arrested by the RCMP and charged with importing and trafficking cocaine. Authorities say this is part of a larger effort, with more than 3,350 pounds seized from U.S.-bound trucks so far this year.
