| Article Link TORONTO -- It was a sweet bust for customs drug dog Joker at Pearson International Airport. A 64-year-old Toronto man has been charged after authorities found 2.4 kilograms of cocaine, worth about $500,000, in a chocolate cake that was being brought into the country from Trinidad and Tobago. A man was returning last Sunday from the Caribbean country when he strolled into Joker. The dog alerted border guards that something was wrong with the cake, said Patrizia Giolti, of the Canada Border Services Agency. Giolti added the layer cake, which was wrapped in plastic and inside a cardboard box, was sent for further checks. "The cake was X-rayed and it showed anomalies," she said. "There were indicators showing something else was in the cake." RCMP Sgt. Marc Laporte said the identity of the suspect hasn't been released due to their ongoing investigation. More on link |
