Ontario police are blaming the Sinaloa cartel for a massive meth smuggling operation into Canada that involved hiding the drug in new Ford vehicles recently imported from an assembly plant in Mexico.
On Wednesday, Ontario Provincial Police told reporters how employees at four Ford dealerships across the province discovered “suspicious” packages inside spare tires in the trunks of newly-arrived cars. The employees alerted the police who later confirmed that the packages contained meth and were smuggled by rail in cars built at a Ford assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico.
