what a crazy write up. man canadians will send that chronic anywhere. so now we have a scenario in canada where criminals receive health canada permits to grow legal weed (this is not part of article specifically...but likely source of chronic), the cannabis is grown over and above what the permit allows, then exported to U.S. and now africa in stolen cars no less...beautiful.
the rampant car theft between the toronto mtl corridor and all points in between is nothing new. smuggling other contraband with those cars well why not. your already breaking international law by sending the car.
The irony in all of this is that the government thought by legalizing it would end cannabis contraband markets. Instead quite the opposite is happening.
if only there had been some historic event that took place almost a hundred years ago that could have given law makers some kind of help....ohhhhhhhh right.
I'm in favor of legalising cannabis, nobody says it's the solution to get rid of OC. But millions of people like to smoke a joint let them they don't hurt anybody else just like alcohol.
The Colombian Navy says it has intercepted the largest narco-submarine ever in the Pacific. It is a semi-submersible vessel of about 30 meters long and 3 meters wide. On board was three tons of cocaine. Three Colombian crew members have been arrested.
The semi-submersible ship was intercepted on Tuesday en route to Central America on one of the most common drug smuggling routes to the United States, the world's largest consumer of Colombian cocaine.
The biggest lab in Holland was found in horse riding school in 2020 it was run by 13 Colombians. Alejandro C. is seen as one of the leaders in the case. C. was already arrested in the US in 2010 for heroin trafficking, for which he received a 32-year prison sentence. Less than ten years later, he managed to find his way to the Netherlands. C., who moved from Colombia to America at the age of seven, managed to stay out of sight of the authorities for a long time. At an unknown age he started smuggling, after which he quickly became a big name in the drug world. When the Americans caught sight of him, they described him as "leader of his drug ring." Shortly afterwards, in 2003, he fled back to Colombia, where he still managed to transport nearly 250 million euros a year worth of heroin to America. Here he began to rebuild his entire business. This time he only opted for coke instead of heroin. Soon Alejandro had put together the most professional coke laundry in the Netherlands, but he couldn't enjoy it for long. Less than two years after his release, he is already in prison, but now in the Netherlands.
It's unbelievable the cocaine they are producing nowadays, but people like to snort it all around the world. It's a great drug once in a while you can't blame the users.
A bad weekend for heavy users with controversial political beliefs. There are apparently more of these in the Benelux than you might think, which suggests a striking drug bust in Peru. In a smuggler boat near the border with Ecuador, Peruvian authorities found 57 kilos of marching powder. Only the producers had taken 'marching powder' very literally.
The coke packets were carefully labeled with Nazi symbolism. For example, each powder packet had a bright red Nazi flag with a swastika and a serial number, and some of the coke bales had 'Hitler' stamped in large block letters.

It's amazing that with all these drug seizures that so much still gets into places. I'm starting to think illegal drugs are the world's biggest commodity.

The ports are vulnerable, only a small percentage get checked. The odds are in the criminals favor.

Marine intercepts 2000 kilos of drugs in the sea off Curaçao 26 minutes ago in INTERIOR
WILLEMSTAD - The crew of the Dutch navy ship Zr.Ms. Groningen has intercepted two shipments of drugs in the Caribbean Sea near Curaçao. It concerns a load of cocaine and marijuana, in total almost 2000 kilos. Twelve people from Venezuela were arrested in the actions last Friday and Saturday. To force them to stop, warning shots were first fired. When the suspects refused to surrender, shots were fired at the outboard motors, according to a spokeswoman for the Royal Netherlands Navy. The drugs and the suspects were then handed over to the Curaçao police. "They will handle it further," said the spokeswoman.
MONDAY, 26 JUNE 2023 - 13:45 Massive €269 million cocaine shipment found in Rotterdam Customs officials found nearly 3,600 kilograms of cocaine during an inspection at the Port of Rotterdam. The drugs held a street value of 269 million euros, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) said on Monday. Two other batches of drugs weighing a total of 2,000 kilograms were also found in an operation involving the Dutch Navy in the Caribbean.
It is the largest cocaine find at the Rotterdam port this year. No arrests were announced.
The cocaine was hidden in a shipment of bananas that likely originated in Ecuador, the OM said. Authorities found the cocaine and counted it between Sunday night and early the following morning.
The final tally stood at 3,587 one-kilogram bricks.
“This container of bananas was destined for a company in the Province of Zeeland,” the OM said. However, there was no evidence suggesting that the company was involved in the smuggling operation.
The initial investigation was carried out by the Hit-and-Run Cargo Team, a specialized intervention team made up of port police, Customs officials, FIOD financial crime investigators, and the Rotterdam division of the Public Prosecution Service.
