About 380 kilograms of suspected drugs allegedly declared as bath tissue have been seized at the Alberta-U.S. border.
The Canada Border Services Agency says officers apprehended what is believed to be 300 kilograms of methamphetamine and 80 kilograms of cocaine.
It says officers stopped a commercial truck at the Coutts border crossing along the border on July 2.
The border agency says the truck was destined for Vilna, a village northeast of Edmonton, with the drugs concealed in moving boxes and a duffel bag.
The agency says officers in Alberta seized more than 1,300 kilograms of meth and cocaine last year.
