call HART crazy .. but
Major drug bust on truck driver near Headingley which is basically the outskirts of Winnipeg, and about 5 miles from my house. We live just off of Portage Avenue here in Winnipeg, and this truck driver might have been just like any other trucker travelling through our city from one end to the other. Portage Avenue is our Trans Canada Highway #1 that goes coast to coast. When I heard this news .. All I could think of was .. Hmmmm.
RCMP made a huge drug bust yesterday, after what started as a routine commercial vehicle inspection.
RCMP pulled over a Kenworth tractor trailer heading eastbound on Highway #1 at Headingley, and noted discrepancies in the 46-year-old Vancouver driver’s hours of service.Officers took a further look, and found some drug paraphernalia. After they took the man into custody, they looked a bit more, and found what’s described as a “sophisticated concealment method” that was hiding about 40 kilograms of what’s believed to be cocaine, and around 200-thousand tablets of what’s believed to be Ecstasy in the roof liner of the truck.
The seizure is estimated at between at least 2 and 5 million dollars.
James Bradley Kenyon has been remanded in custody to next Tuesday, and faces various charges.
