The Ottawa Citizen reported that two Ottawa men were charged in relation to a cross-country drug trafficking scheme that used courier companies to ferry thousands of dollars worth of cocaine and marijuana across the country.

Initially, police found just a small quantity of cocaine while executing a search warrant, but a courier package carrying a kilogram of cocaine arrived at the residence while police were investigating. Police seized more than a kilogram of cocaine and almost a kilogram of marijuana during the bust. The estimated street value is approximately $234,000.
