Cocaine Bust in Alberta
Posted on February 19, 2019 at 10:19 AM |
![]() |
Cocaine bust in Alberta At the Sweetgrass / Coutts border crossing into Alberta a transport truck was pulled over for secondary screening because the driver was on the CBSA radar as suspected of involvement in drug trafficking. During inspection the CBSA border officers came across 83 one-kilogram bundles of cocaine stashed in different locations within the cab area. The cocaine, valued at $5 million, was found behind the microwave, under a mattress, in a duffel bag and inside the two jockey boxes. Upon the truck being returned from the impound lot to the truck’s owner, there was a further 17 one-kilogram packages that had apparently not been found during inspection at the border. The 54-year-old driver was from British Columbia and the junior driver, 32 years old, resides in Ontario. The younger driver was new to Canada and to trucking, barely spoke English and needed a translator during the inspection, questioning and trial. Both drivers claimed that they were completely unaware of the cocaine being in the truck. During the trial it was concluded that there was not enough hard evidence such as DNA or fingerprints to prove beyond reasonable doubt that these two drivers had anything to do with the placement of the cocaine in the truck. It was concluded that the younger driver’s charges of possession with the intent to traffic and importation of drugs into Canada were dismissed and the senior driver, 54, his charges were stopped due to his passing away. I chose not to identify names in this article out of respect to the families related to the death of one of the drivers.

By: Dawn Truell, President, Cross Border
Services April 11, 2017 Urgent Terror Alert for Truck
Drivers Stockholm, Sweden, Friday, April 7, 2017, a
terrorist stole a company's tractor trailer and used it to try to murder
innocent civilians walking in the streets of Stockholm. In Sweden this has not
been experienced before and was completely a shock to everyone there. During
this past year many similar incidents have happened, specifically in Berlin,
Germany, Nice, France, and London, England. The US CBP Department of
Homeland Security, Officer Dan Bauer from the JFK International Airport office,
has issued an urgent notice to all truck drivers, owner operators and
transportation companies to be “..Vigilant and see that their drivers and
vehicles are not in jeopardy of falling victim to such diabolical
actions.” Please see the following
preventative measures suggested by this Officer:
As per US CBP DHS
Officer Dan Bauer, all of us can fall prey to terrorists, we need to keep diligent
in our day-to-day practices to ensure everyone’s safety. Dan’s further
comments: “Thank you everybody for your
continued participation in this important effort by the program to
maintain secure trade in a safe supply chain. Your input, vigilance, and
expertise has been critical to our successes up to this point. A long
road is still ahead but we are confident that with your help we will get to
where we need to be.” For more information about transportation
