Officials at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron have arrested a Canadian and seized more than 280 pounds of cocaine.

The seizure took place October 21st when members of Custom and Border Protection were conducting inspections.

A commercial truck shipment of berries destined to Canada was sent for an enforcement exam and officers found approximately four boxes containing plastic wrapped packages of suspected narcotics — officers conducted a field test on the substance, which tested positive for the properties of cocaine.

The Canadian arrested has been turned over to Homeland Security.
