Toronto police say the largest cocaine bust in the city’s history has the hallmarks of a notorious Mexican cartel.
Superintendent Paul MacIntyre says police seized 835 kilograms of cocaine that they believe came from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
“They are significant. Hopefully we really did some damage to them with this. Certainly they will continue, but this hurt them.”
Police say more than half of the drugs allegedly came from a tractor-trailer out of Mexico that was stopped on the Canadian side of the border with the United States.
