Around $2.7 million of suspected methamphetamine was seized at the Ambassador Bridge last month.

The driver of the truck was arrested and the drugs were seized. The RCMP attended and took custody of the person and the evidence.

“Our border services officers in Southern Ontario continue to protect Canadians and ensure that we keep narcotics out of our communities. We work in partnership with the RCMP to stop the importation of illicit drugs at our borders," said Christine Durocher, Regional Director General, Southern Ontario Region, Canada Border Services Agency
