A 21-year-old woman has been charged after allegedly attempting to conceal 45 kilograms of cannabis in her luggage.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police said on Oct. 25 a Canadian air passenger arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport to take a flight to Germany.
Members of the RCMP’s Toronto Airport Detachment seized the drugs, which are legal in Canada, and arrested Renee Ashanta Henry. She has been charged with possession for the purpose of export, contrary to section 11 of the Cannabis Act. “Although cannabis is decriminalized in Canada, it is still illegal to carry any amount of cannabis on international flights, or amounts exceeding personal use on domestic flights,” Insp. John McMath, of the RCMP’s Toronto Airport Detachment, said in a news release.
