[wanabidii] Sh784bn heroin seized off Tanzania coast

Wednesday, January 22, 2014

A Canadian military ship has seized more than 280kg of heroin with an estimated street value of $490 million (Sh784 billion) aboard a vessel off the coast of Tanzania. The ship, MCS Toronto, intercepted the large shipment of heroin some 40 nautical miles off the coast of Tanzania during a routine patrol. The seizure indicates how drug lords exploit all possible avenues to ferry their dirty merchandise to escape law enforcers. Friday's seizure was not the first by a Canadian military ship, it has been noted. A Canadian Forces communiqué says a total of 538kg of drugs were seized off the Kenyan cost late last year. It was the largest heroin haul in the history of naval operations involving multiple allied nations. ( Mwananchi, The Citizen, et al)
