TORONTO — Canada Border Services Agency says it has seized about 118 kilograms of cocaine at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

In a release Wednesday the agency says the seizure was made on Jan. 17 when 100 brick-shaped bundles of suspected cocaine were found during a routine cargo inspection of a plane arriving from Mexico.

The CBSA says the bundles were found in cardboard boxes which were being shipped in two large wooden crates.

The cocaine has been turned over to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The CBSA says it made 149 cocaine seizures totalling close to 700 kg last year in the Greater Toronto Area.
