Cocaine shipment mistakenly arrives at Vancouver business

$5.8 million worth of cocaine arrived in Vancouver via Honduras, Jamaica and Montreal

Vancouver police have made the largest single seizure of cocaine in the force's history, with a total of over 328 kilograms. The drugs were discovered by a local company after its staff found 14 duffle bags hidden among boxes of T-shirts they had ordered. The shipment originated in Honduras and was loaded onto a vessel in May, making stops in Jamaica before arriving in Montreal on July 5. The ongoing investigation involves collaboration with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, as well as authorities in Honduras and Jamaica.
