Two Air Canada employees have been arrested in connection with a drug trafficking probe at the Montreal–Trudeau International Airport.
RCMP said in a news release Wednesday that search warrants were being executed at two homes and a vehicle in the Greater Montreal area, as well as the employees’ work base in Dorval.
The two suspects hold various positions related to ground operations at Air Canada, the RCMP said. The airline is assisting in the probe.
The investigation began in May after the Canada Border Services Agency intercepted 62.5 kilograms of cocaine concealed in backpacks on a flight from Punta Cana. Officials also seized 56 kg of cannabis.
