RCMP SEIZES 7 TONNES OF HASH

The Gazette

The drug division of the RCMP seized a shipping container holding
nearly seven tonnes of hash Sunday at an outdoor storage centre in
LaSalle. Owners of the centre noticed the container parked on a
semi-trailer in their yard for a few days and called police. The RCMP
obtained a warrant to investigate, and found the hash hidden in
cardboard boxes holding jeans.

Inspectors could not give a street value estimate because prices vary
widely from province to province and depending on quality. But if the
drugs were sold at the average street price of $10 a gram, the seven
tonnes would be worth $70 million.

The RCMP is asking anyone with information to call the drug division
at 514-939-8313. All calls are confidential.

"Any piece of information could be helpful," said Cpl. Luc Thibault.
"Sometimes people think it's nothing, but it turns out to be very
important for us."

The container bore the identifying code HJCU 8291013.
