MONTRÉAL — RCMP says two Air Canada employees have been arrested in connection with alleged cocaine and cannabis trafficking out of Montréal-Trudeau Airport.
The force says the two suspects are alleged to have participated in a conspiracy to move luggage into the airport’s secure areas to facilitate importing cocaine and exporting cannabis.
RCMP conducted searches at two residences and a vehicle in the greater Montreal area, as well as at the employees’ work area in Dorval.
The investigation began in May after 62.5 kg of cocaine was intercepted in backpacks on a flight from Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic.
