“We often get asked by the public what the value is of these types of contraband seizures”, said Cst. Jean Juneau, Media Relations Officer with the CRTF. “The estimated value of this particular seizure surpasses $175,000.00. As you can well imagine, this seizure is a significant loss for whoever organized and paid for the product they never received.”
