A man who was charged with importing and trafficking more than 11 kilograms of cocaine has walked free from a Nanaimo, B.C., courtroom.
Gerry David Allan Grieve was found not guilty of three charges – importing, possessing and trafficking cocaine – stemming from his arrest in November 2019 alongside co-accused Gerhard Gunther Laufer.
The Crown alleged Grieve then trafficked the cocaine to Laufer, who brought it back to Vancouver Island, as part of an organized crime ring. Police found six cellphones on the men following the takedown. A search of Laufer's truck revealed a hidden compartment containing 10 bricks of cocaine weighing approximately 11.3 kilograms in total, according to the June 29 judgment.
