Marijuana found in tire leads to couple’s arrest
Updated: August 21, 2010, 12:15 AM
NIAGARA FALLS—A Niagara Falls, Ont., couple was arrested Sunday after they allegedly tried to enter the United States at the Rainbow Bridge with a quantity of marijuana stuffed into a spare tire, U. S. Customs and Border Protection officials report.
A 28-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman told officers they were en route to visit a relative on Grand Island. Additional questioning aroused suspicion, officials said, and the couple’s vehicle was sent for additional inspection by a narcotics detector dog and other technology.
Customs officials said they cut open a spare tire and found five vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana. The pair was arrested and turned over to the Niagara Falls Police.
