Huge heroin bust in Montreal: $50 million worth of drug seized at port

The Canadian Press Apr 21, 2011 17:46:53 PM

MONTREAL - It's being called one of the largest drug seizures in Montreal's history.

Police say 35 kilograms of heroin worth some $50 million on the street was seized in a shipping container at the Port of Montreal on April 15.

An investigation reveals the staggering quantity of drug was imported by the Turkish Mafia in Montreal.

Police say that group has links to Montreal's Italian Mafia.

The drugs were hidden in pallets inside a container that was shipped from Pakistan.

Police say one person has been arrested in the case and the investigation remains active.
