Air Canada Baggage Handler Busted for Cannabis Smuggling

0:00It's March 30th. You're listening to Toronto News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Corey with the story. An air-Canada bagot handler got nabbed by the RCMP for trying to sneak over 60 kilograms of cannabis out of Toronto's Pearson Airport. The scheme involves slapping luggage tags with two innocent passengers' names on the stuff suitcases, hoping they'd slip through unchecked. Officers spotted the identical bags during screening and pulled aside the two travelers who both swore they never checked any luggage like that. Turns out, the employee working the bagot area had rigged the tags to frame them. Those passengers played it straight, cooperating fully with police, and walked free without a single charge against them. No harm done to the travelers. Just a big headache for the real culprit. Now a 32-year-old guy from Mrs. Saga faces charges for possession of cannabis, men for export, plus conspiracy to pull off the crime. The bus shows how tight security is catching these plots early. Airport opts they on high alert, and this case reminds everyone smuggling schemes rarely
