Employees at four dealerships discovered the drugs stashed within spare tires that didn't match the cars
A notorious Mexican cartel stashed bricks of methamphetamine in the spare tires of new cars before sending the vehicles to Canada by rail in a sprawling drug smuggling operation, authorities alleged Wednesday.
Police said the cars were built at Ford's assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, before being put on northbound trains. The investigation, dubbed Project Sebright, ballooned to involve the Canada Border Services Agency, Greater Sudbury Police, police in New Brunswick, Quebec provincial police and Ford.
Other cars that were part of the same shipment made their way to Quebec and New Brunswick, MacKillop said.
