ON March 12, RCMP Federal Policing – Central Region arrested and charged an Air Canada employee in connection with an attempted export of approximately 66 kilograms of cannabis from Toronto Pearson International Airport (TPIA).
On February 19, RCMP officers were called to assist after the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) located approximately 33 kilograms of cannabis in each checked bag of two German citizens scheduled to depart on a commercial flight to Germany. Both passengers were traveling separately and were not known to each other.
RCMP officers arrested both individuals; however, each denied ownership of the luggage. The subsequent RCMP investigation determined that the suitcases were identical and that neither passenger had checked them in. Investigators found that an Air Canada employee working in the baggage room, had placed luggage tags bearing the unsuspecting passengers’ names onto the suitcases that contained the cannabis. Both passengers cooperated fully with police and were released without charges.
On March 12, members of the RCMP Border Integrity unit arrested and charged Air Canada employee Atasha Weathley, 32, of Mississauga, with possession for the purpose of export, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
Weathley was held for bail and released with conditions. Her next court date is April 10.
