RCMP arrested two men after they were caught fleeing from Idaho into B.C. on Friday — shortly after U.S Border Patrol agents recovered abandoned duffle bags containing more than $2.8 million in cocaine and methamphetamine. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) say they were alerted to suspicious activity on a remote service road near Bonners Ferry, Idaho, just south of the border near Creston, B.C. "Border patrol agents are committed to preventing dangerous drugs and associated crime from destroying families and communities on both sides of the border," said acting chief patrol agent David BeMiller. The investigation by the RCMP Border Integrity Team and the CBP is continuing.
