Detroit feds bust semi-truck driver with $3 million worth of cocaine
A semi-truck driver was acting natural and blending in as he attempted to exit the United States to Canada at the Ambassador Bridge when the feds in Detroit made a huge drug bust.
The United States Customs and Border Protection Detroit Contract Band Enforcement Team was conducting outbound enforcement operations around 6:15 AM when they made contact with Gurshinder Signh.
According to Freep, the truck driver had an Ontario tractor and trailer. Sign shared that he was coming from Wisconsin and stayed in Indiana overnight. Then officers told him to exit his truck.
As customs and border protection officers searched the tractor-trailer, they opened the toolbox compartment of the trailer. Next, they found Home Depot moving boxes hidden under rubber mats.
The officers opened one box to find vacuum-sealed, duck-taped brick bundles of cocaine consistent with narcotics packaging. Eight Home Depot boxes were taken from the trailer. Three of the bundles provided positive test results for cocaine.
This was the fourth suspected bulk cocaine load intercepted by customs and border protection by the bridge since March 21.
The volume of controlled substances and manner of transportation from the United States to Canada is indicative of a broader drug trafficking effort that involves the further distribution of controlled substances.
