Two Canadian border agents are among five people arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling. The RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said the agents worked at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. Charged with offences including breach of trust, conspiracy, and importing a narcotic are CBSA agents Patrick Ruddy, 37, of Toronto, and Brano Andrews, 41, of Barrie, Ont. They further allege the two Canadian agents facilitated the importation of more than 30 kilograms of cocaine between January 2016 and April of this year. “Allegations of improper or illegal behaviour by CBSA employees are taken very seriously,” said Goran Vragovic, CBSA regional director general.
