Drugs hidden in building materials, say OPP (3 photos)

For the second time in a week, Ontario Provincial Police officers have made a significant bust of marijuana being driven through Sault Ste. Marie.

The driver of a van was pulled over on Great Northern Road at Fourth Line on May 21 as a result of a driving complaint, said OPP Constable Monique Baker.

Police discovered the marijuana during the traffic stop and arrested the driver.

"The estimated value of the seized 100-pounds of cannabis is around $679,000 street value," said Baker.

Baker adds within the last week the Sault Ste. Marie detachment has seized aproximately $1.2-million worth of illegal drugs.

The marijuana was hidden withing a stack of styrofoam sheets, which were hollowed out to hold the sealed bags, said Baker.

A full sheet was then placed on top as a lid, obscuring the marijuana.

Devon Robinson of Cambridge, Ontario was released on bail and will appear in Provincial Court in Sault Ste. Marie on June 16, 2014.
