Police say a 37-year old man from Niagara Falls charged, after police find suspected cocaine and cannabis in shipping containers at the Port of Montreal

A Niagara Falls man has been charged in connection to the discovery of roughly $630,000 worth of suspected cocaine and cannabis.

Police began an investigation in February of a network of people involved in trafficking, and in May searched shipping containers at the Port of Montreal, finding over 11kgs of cocaine, and 123kgs of cannabis.

After 7 searches in Niagara Falls, Oakville, Brampton and Kitchener in June, police arrested 37-year old Darko Tambur of Niagara Falls, and a 53-year old Kitchener man.

Tambur was released with a court appearance next month in Milton.
