An investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Eastern Region, has led to charges against two individuals allegedly linked to drug importation.
The accused are Bruno Malenfant, 47, and Johany Deschênes, 41, both from Saint-Hubert-de-Rivière-du-Loup. They face charges of importing and possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
They were arrested on Friday, October 24, by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers as they entered the country through the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle port of entry.
A total of 53 kilograms of suspected cocaine was discovered in their semi-truck. The investigation was then turned over to the Champlain Integrated Border Enforcement Team. Both the drugs and the vehicle were seized.
The suspects appeared in court in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu on the day of their arrest and remained in custody pending their next court appearance, which was scheduled for October 27.
The RCMP notes that the investigation is still ongoing. (N.P.)
