RCMP show off the illegal drugs they seized during a July 22, 2018, traffic stop of a transport truck and trailer on the Trans-Canada Highway near Westhawk.
Police say the stop was initiated to conduct a routine inspection of the driver’s paperwork.
During the inspection, officers noticed several discrepancies with the paperwork. This prompted an inspection of the load. Officers seized 925 pounds of marihuana in vacuum-packed bags as well as 75 pounds of “shatter” (a product of cannabis), oils and edibles that were hidden inside the trailer amongst a load of food products destined for Ontario.
Claudiu Huber, the 46-year-old driver of the semi was arrested and charged for his alleged involvement with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking and Trafficking a Controlled Substabstance.
Huber from Agassiz, British Columbia was released on a promise to appear in court in the future.
RCMP say that is is the single largest marihuana seizure in as the result of a traffic stop in Canada since 2015
