"The investigation was initiated on March 3, 2026, after Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers intercepted a shipment being imported into Canada via Halifax, Nova Scotia. The shipment had been flagged for inspection by the CBSA’s National Targeting Centre."
"Using X-ray technology, CBSA officers at the Africville Seasides Marine Container Examination Facility in Halifax detected 1,178 illicit packages within the shipment: the drugs were wrapped in carbon paper and concealed within flatbread. Upon further inspection, multiple field tests confirmed the substance as suspected cocaine. CBSA seized the packages and referred the investigation to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Federal Policing - Central Region."
"The importer has been identified as Peter Pompeo (58) of Montreal, Quebec, who has been suspected to be working and conspiring with Taylor Bixby (35) of Thorold, Ontario, and Zachary Daniel Ardizzi (33) of Mississauga, Ontario, in order to import and traffic the cocaine."
