Customs detector dog Scout helped officers find more than 147 kilograms of hashish within a cargo container from Nepal

Customs at Mississauga's Pearson International Airport, have seized close to $5 million in drugs from would-be smugglers.
Two people have been charged in connection with two of the seizures, but the RCMP have yet to make an arrest in connection with a third case.
In one case, a detector dog helped sniff out the drugs, while in another, an air traveller hoped five pairs of shoes would help him make a quick getaway.
On Jan. 9, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers intercepted 10 kilograms of cocaine worth an estimated $1.2 million when they detected "abnormalities in the luggage lining," according to CBSA spokesperson Patrizia Giolti.
further probing led to the discovery of the cocaine concealed in the false sides of the suitcase.
A 49-year-old woman on a flight from Guyana was arrested and turned over to the RCMP.
On Jan. 13, CBSA officers at Pearson intercepted a kilogram of cocaine worth an estimated $650,000. During a routine examination of of a 24-year-old Toronto man's luggage, "various footwear was found to be excessively heavy," Giolti said.
With the use of the X-Ray, officers found cocaine concealed in the soles of five pairs of shoes. The man was arrested and turned over to the RCMP.
On Jan. 14, customs detector dog Scout helped officers find more than 147 kilograms of hashish within a cargo container from Nepal. Scout sniffed out the 21 bundles of hashish in seven boxes. The drugs are worth an estimated $2.9 million dollars. No arrests have been made in that case.
