A recent border search netted enough of an illicit substance to provide approximately a million doses to users in Canada.
A recent border search netted enough of an illicit substance to provide approximately a million doses.
The substance was seized in October, the Canada Border Services Agency said in a news release issued months later.
CBSA said a solo traveller, who has not been publicly identified, arrived in Canada from the U.S. by car, using a crossing in Surrey.
Border agents screened the driver, but when they went to inspect the vehicle, the driver "fled the port of entry at high speed," according to a news release issued Wednesday.
Those agents contacted the RCMP, and officers tracked down the vehicle and brought the driver back to the crossing, the agency said.
The vehicle was searched, and officers allege they found "several larger commercially sealed bags containing a white crystalline substance" in the trunk.
While the substance was not tested at that point, CBSA said, a dog trained to detect narcotics indicated the substance was illicit.
