Man arrested in seizure of 343 kilos of cocaine in Halifax - thestar.com: "Montreal man was arrested Tuesday after Canada Border Services agents found 343 kilograms of cocaine in a shipping container in Halifax last November.
“The drugs were found in a container originating from Venezuela that was on its way to Montreal,” said Andrew LeFrank, the agency’s Nova Scotia director.
“Officers using X-ray technology were able to detect the drugs concealed in ceramic tiles.”
RCMP Staff Sgt. Alan Harding said Michel Safar, 47, will face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
“Our investigation led us to believe that the drugs were destined for the Montreal area. Further arrests may be made,” said Harding.
Each tile, which was covered with a fibreglass backing, contained two packages of cocaine weighing about 520 grams."
