Calgary Airport Drug Bust Sparks Criminal Investigation of Winnipeg Resident

"Drug trafficking knows no borders, and neither does our commitment to combat it," stated Shanon Scott, acting superintendent of the Calgary Police Service's criminal operations and intelligence division. On Wednesday, a CBSA shoulder patch was captured in a photograph at Calgary International Airport. A Winnipeg resident has been charged with drug trafficking after officers from the Canada Border Services Agency seized 30 kilograms of methamphetamine at Calgary International Airport last month. Eighteen-year-old Mariane Lee had her luggage searched after it was flagged for irregularities. She was subsequently arrested and removed from a flight bound for Narita, Japan.
