Air Canada Baggage Worker Charged in Cannabis Smuggling Plot

0:00It's March 30th, this is Toronto News today, your AI-powered local news. RCMP just charged an air-candidate baggage worker for a slick smuggling plot, slapping fake passenger tags on suitcases packed with 66 kilos of cannabis headed to Germany. Back on February 19th at Toronto Pearson Airport, border agents spotted 33 kilos stuffed in each of two checked bags tagged to a pair of German flyers who had no clue. Those passengers got hauled in quick, both swearing they never touched the identical luggage, and turns out they hadn't even checked it. Cops cleared. Am fast. Digging deeper, investigators pinned it on 32-year-old Atasha Weafley from Mississauga, working the baggage room, who got nabbed instead. She's out on bail facing possession for export and conspiracy charges, court dates set for April 10th, as RCMP vows to keep locking down borders from. There are schemes like this.
