Two people, one from Kitchener and the other from Niagara Falls, are facing charges after more than 11 kilograms of suspected cocaine and 123 kilograms of cannabis were seized from shipping containers.

The investigation, which began back in February, involved multiple agencies including Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST), Canada Border Services Agency, Peel Regional Police, Toronto Police Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
