TORONTO - A woman travelling with thousands of buttons and fabric was arrested after the buttons were found laced with $1-million worth of cocaine, say RCMP.
RCMP say officials from the Canadian Border Service Agency arrested the woman at Toronto's Pearson Airport after becoming suspicious of the more than 3,000 large buttons being brought into the country from Barbados.
RCMP Insp. Steve Saunders says police discovered about 9 kilograms of cocaine inside the buttons.
Saunders says the seizure happened on July 17, but information wasn't released because of an ongoing investigation.
