According to the RCMP, on November 4, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers in Mississauga intercepted a package transiting international borders containing a total of 999 grams of cocaine, consigned to an address in Markham.
They said that the package was later turned over to the RCMP for further investigation.
And on November 18, officers attended a business establishment where two females were observed taking possession of the package and attempting to depart by vehicle.
The RCMP arrested the females, identified as Leelah Stanley and Candice Taylor, near the business.
