Kaieteur News – The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) busted a traveller from Guyana with 3.5 kilograms (kg) of cocaine that was hidden in multiple pairs of shoes at the Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The discovery was made on May 26, 2025. The CBSA through a Facebook post on Monday, stated that the cocaine has an estimated value of over CND$437,000.
According to the agency, the cocaine was found by contraband detection technology at the airport.
“Some of the detection technology employed by the CBSA includes ion mobility spectrometry, x-rays and narcotic identification kits. These tools, in combination with the officer’s knowledge, experience, and training, enable successful enforcement actions”, the agency said.
The name or nationality of the traveler has not yet been released by CBSA due to privacy laws in Canada. However, the traveller, along with the cocaine were handed over to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Ontario.
Meanwhile, Kaieteur News made contact with head of the Customs Anti Narcotic Unit (CANU) James Singh. He told this publication that he will provide comments on this issue on Wednesday (Today).
