DOG LEADS HANDLER TO DOPE

It's the largest drug seizure ever in the history of the Okanagan-Kootenay district of the Canada Border Services Agency.

"I'm pleased to announce that ( officers at the Osoyoos border crossing ) have seized over 100 kilograms of marijuana," said Canada Border Services Agency's district superintendent Alan Prolifi.  The announcement was made yesterday at the border crossing, next to a table stacked high with 192 vacuum-sealed bags full of pot.

It started with a few routine questions for the driver of a tractor-trailer travelling to the United States Monday, July 11, said Robbin Walterhouse, inspector and detector dog handler.

He was on shift with his canine partner, Shad, when he and Prolifi noticed the driver's suspicious behaviour.  Jasdeep Singh Litt, of Surrey, B.C.  was driving the truck to Washington.

The customs team found the dope in a custom built sleeper cab.
