A joint effort between the police agencies that make up the Integrated Border Enforcement Team (IBET) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has led to the seizure of 189 kilograms worth of cocaine at Alberta’s southern border crossing.

On Nov. 13, police say a commercial truck was trying to get into the province through the Coutts, Alta., border.

After a secondary examination, the drugs — thought to be worth around $2 million — were found.

“The safety and security of Canadians is the RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region’s top priority,” said Supt. Sean Boser with  the Alberta RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region in a release.

“With the support of various law enforcement agencies, we’ve successfully prevented harmful drugs from entering Canada and harming our communities.”

The news comes on the heels of an announcement earlier in December where Premier Danielle Smith introduced plans and $29 million in funding to create the Interdiction Patrol Team.

It’s a new unit that will attempt to bolster security at its section of Canada’s border with the U.S. and will be set up to intercept illegal attempts to cross the border, or bring drugs or firearms across the 298-kilometre international boundary with the U.S.

Christina Zoernig with the RCMP told CBC News that no charges have been laid in the ongoing investigation.
