Truck driver found not guilty of smuggling millions worth of cocaine

Truck driver found not guilty of smuggling millions worth of cocaine: "Balwinder Biring wore a smile as he left New Westminster court Friday after being found not guilty of smuggling millions of dollars worth of cocaine into Canada.
Biring, a truck driver, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and importing cocaine after border officers found 137 kilograms of the drug in his tractor-trailer unit in February 2008.
The drugs, packaged in 138 bricks weighing approximately one kilogram each, were packed into duffel bags and suitcases and were hidden among boxes of celery. An RCMP expert estimated that at the time the drugs would have been worth between $3.3 million and $5.5 million."
