Nearly 250kg of cocaine was found hidden in flatbread at a Halifax container facility.
The Canadian Border Services Agency says it was March 3 when a shipment from the Dominican Republic had been flagged for inspection.
Inside, a drug was in 1,178 packages wrapped in carbon paper in the bread.
Multiple tests confirmed it as “suspected cocaine”.
The importer was identified by RCMP as a 58-year-old man from Montreal who worked alongside two other men, from Ontario, 35 and 33.
They are now facing drug trafficking charges and will appear in court, May 13.
