The Nunavut RCMP drug section have laid a charge of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking against an Iqaluit woman following the seizure of 16 pounds of weed Jan. 29 at the Iqaluit airport.
Police made the seizure after questioning the woman after her arrival on a flight from Ottawa, an RCMP press release said.
After arresting her, police found the drugs hidden in empty snack boxes inside her luggage.
The woman, 38, was processed, then released from custody. She’ll appear in court March 5 in Iqaluit.
Police did not release her name.
Police say anyone wishing to pass on information about the trafficking of controlled substances or any other crimes can do so anonymously by calling the RCMP Drug Section at 975-4408 or CrimeStoppers.
