Subject: A Warning to Cross-Border Shoppers
I know BC is known to have contraband items transported South but this may serve as a precaution to those who frequent cross border shopping.
SOME OF YOU MAY NOT BE CROSSING THE BORDER BUT FOR SURE YOU HAVE FRIENDS THAT DO.
A lady was driving back from shopping on
Eureka Road with her sister and children,
and noticed that the same car had been
following them for a while. The car con- tinued to follow them all the way
back to
the bridge, and even queued up behind
them in line for customs.
Luckily, she was on the ball. When she
pulled up to the customs officer she men-
tioned to them that the car behind them
had been following them the entire trip
from the shopping mall. The clerk told her
that she was going to have them pulled in
for inspection, and that she was going to pull this other car in as well.
So here's the deal. When the inspectors
looked in and around her car, they found
that drugs had been stuffed into the under-
carriage. The inspectors told her that this is
happening more often.
The drug dealers find a vehicle with Ontario plates parked at the mall, they
stash the drugs and stake out the vehicle.
They follow the car across the border and
retrieve the drugs as soon as the car is left
alone. If the car is stopped at the border,
it's someone else who is arrested.
This is not a joke.
Please pass this on to anyone you
feel will benefit.
