The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) announced the arrest of two Air Canada workers on Wednesday for their alleged involvement in drug trafficking operations involving cocaine and cannabis at Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport. The federal police revealed that search warrants were being executed at two residences, a vehicle, and the Air Canada employees’ work base in Dorval, Quebec, in collaboration with the airline.

Investigations indicate that the two suspects, who hold various ground operations roles at Air Canada, are believed to have conspired to transport luggage through secure airport areas to facilitate the importation of cocaine and the exportation of cannabis, as stated in the RCMP’s release. The arrests followed the interception of 62.5 kilograms of cocaine hidden in backpacks from a flight originating in Punta Cana in May, with an additional 56 kilograms of cannabis seized during the probe.

The RCMP mentioned that the arrested individuals would be interrogated and released pending further legal actions. Air Canada confirmed that the two employees have been suspended pending the ongoing investigation.
