2 people charged after allegedly trying to smuggle 45 kg of cannabis on plane: RCMP

Two people have been charged after they allegedly tried to smuggle a total of about 45 kilograms of cannabis on a flight from Toronto to the United Kingdom, the RCMP says.

Police say the accused are two people who were travelling separately from Toronto’s Pearson airport to London on Nov. 14, and were “seemingly not connected.”

They say border agents found “two separate cases” of cannabis concealed inside luggage during their inspections.

RCMP officials say a 40-year-old is alleged to have brought just shy of 22 kilograms of cannabis, while a 32-year-old is alleged to have had 22.5 kilograms.

Each has been charged with exporting contrary to the Cannabis Act.

They’ve been released and are due to appear in court in February.
