A Winnipeg woman is facing drug charges after border agents in Calgary inspected luggage bound for Japan last month.
The luggage, which had been flagged for abnormalities on June 23, was found to contain about 30 kilograms of methamphetamine.
The traveller had already boarded their flight for Tokyo’s airport when Canada Border Services Agency officers arrested her and removed from the plane. RCMP were contacted, and police began investigating the woman and the seized drugs.
An 18-year-old woman is charged with two offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and another under the Customs Act.
She was scheduled to appear in court in Calgary on Monday.
