US-Canada border crossing at Blaine Washington

Blaine, Wash. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested a 43-year-old Surrey, British Columbia, man on October 10 for allegedly attempting to export 192 pounds of cocaine, worth more than $3 million.

Sukhvinder Shoker, a Canadian citizen,(one of those that wears a diaper on his head) was originally en route to Canada driving a commercial shipment of household goods when he was encountered by CBP officers of the Blaine Anti-Terrorism Contraband Enforcement Team working in concert with agents of the Border Enforcement Security Task Force at the Pacific Highway port of entry. A narcotic detector dog named “Mac” was used to search the truck and trailer and gave a positive alert to the presence of a narcotic odor.

During a detailed inspection of the trailer officers discovered a secret compartment concealing 24 cardboard boxes which contained a total of 76 bricks of an unknown substance which field tested positive for cocaine.

“Once again, today’s interdiction removes a considerable amount of cocaine from the reach of our youth and highlights our determination to protect communities throughout the Pacific northwest,” said Assistant Port Director Deborah Engels. “This demonstrates the importance of the CBP mission and why our officers take their duties so earnestly.”

On July 7, CBP officers arrested a 32-year-old Calgary, Alberta, man at the Peace Arch port of entry, Blaine, Washington for allegedly attempting to export 238 pounds of cocaine, worth more than $4 million.

Shoker was immediately taken into custody and turned over to agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for further investigation and prosecution.
That would have been enough to set him and his family up with a bunch of 7/11 stores

    Hello,

    I wanted to ask you exactly what business you are in? Are you in the journalism business or in the business of slandering a whole community? While it is your duty to report the news I support the truth regardless of what community a person is from if they commit an act it should be fully disclosed to the public. Your comment talking about people with diapers on their heads is a shot at the sikh community and I for one do not like it. See to it that your journalism is more responsible in the future and have this slander removed from your publication.

    Sincerely,

    Tarjeet Punia

      I write in a language and method that some bone headed truck drivers can understand Tarjeet. Sorry if that offends you.

      I am in the business of putting the truth out about Mexican truckers and their industry. Unfortunately, others give all nationalities and races a pass on their misdeeds while slamming the Mexican driver, which in most cases is more professional than any of us.

      And I am in the trucking business to answer your
