The RCMP said Thursday that it has broken up a cross-border drug ring and arrested a Canadian customs officer in connection to the case.
Seven others have also been charged.
The investigation began in 2007 based on information given to the RCMP by the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI.
The FBI had arrested a cannabis supplier in Florida and made links in its investigation to Quebec and New Brunswick.
Police say the drugs originated in Panama and Colombia.
The customs officer was arrested last during an undercover operation at the St-Bernard-de-Lacolle border crossing between Quebec and the U.S.
The RCMP has arrested another four people in Quebec and Edmunston, N.B., in connection to their investigation, while three others are still being sought in the investigation.
The border guard was charged with corruption.
