RCMP say the suspects are two people who were travelling separately from Toronto’s Pearson airport to London on Nov. 14, and were “seemingly not connected.”

They say border agents found “two separate cases” of cannabis concealed inside luggage during their inspections.

RCMP say a 40-year-old suspect is alleged to have brought just shy of 22 kilograms of cannabis, while a 32-year-old suspect is alleged to have had 22.5 kilograms.

Each has been charged with exporting contrary to the Cannabis Act.

They’ve been released and are due to appear in court in February.
