Feds Catch 50,000 Ecstasy Pills at Canadian Border
|
MASSENA, N.Y. (AP) -- Federal authorities are charging two Canadian men with trying to smuggle $1.5 million in Ecstasy across the border at the Massena port of entry.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested 53-year-old Mitchell David and 50-year-old Silas Benedict Wednesday night after finding 50,000 Ecstasy star-shaped tablets stuffed inside a spare tire in plastic sandwich bags.
The two men, of Cornwall Island, were charged with importation and possession with the intent to distribute a controlled substance.
Federal prosecutors in Syracuse are handling the case. Officials said the men did not yet have attorneys.
