Suspected cocaine bundles seized at Ambassador Bridge

The Canadian Border Services Agency seized six bricks of suspected cocaine at the Ambassador Bridge Tuesday.

A commercial truck driver was sent for secondary inspection on Feb. 19 and the suspected cocaine was found during that examination.

The bricks weigh a total of 8.2 kilograms.

CBSA officers arrested a Waterloo man, who was later charged by police.
