The $7.75 million worth of dope was going to be smuggled out of Pearson by ramp workers with links to the gangs, police say.Crime gangs in the GTA were to be the final stop for 300 kilos of pot and hash seized on two flights from Jamaica at Pearson airport, the RCMP says. Eight drug-filled duffel bags were found March 13 by crew off-loading a plane, said Patrizia Giolti, of the Canada Border Services Agency. The seizure wasn't made public until yesterday as officers were hoping to run down the smugglers. The bags contained 41 bricks of marijuana weighing over 95 kilos, and 65 bricks of hashish and hash oil weighing over 98 kilos, Giolti said.
Later that day there was a second bust after Mingo, a drug detector dog, led officers to four pieces of baggage that contained 69 kilos of pot, 46 kilos of hashish and a kilo brick of cocaine. "There were no addresses or labels on the bags," Giolti said yesterday. "The drugs were found wrapped in cellophane."
Airport officers are seizing up to six unclaimed bags daily filled with drugs, RCMP Sgt. Marc LaPorte said.
