Air Canada members of the Hells Angels Connection

Police believe the drugs originated in Mexico and that investigators were looking at a "strong link" to B.C. members of the Hells Angels.Air Canada spokesman John Reber confirmed that an airline employee has been suspended.Drug trafficking through the airports was so problematic then that airport seizures accounted for 92 per cent of the heroin, 90 per cent of the ecstasy, 40 per cent of the cocaine and 40 per cent of the liquid hashish seized in Canada in 2002, the report noted.
Border agency officers at YVR seized 54 kg of cocaine on a flight from Mexico in September. The drugs were packed in four suitcases.
Another 50 kg of cocaine was found in two suitcases on a flight from Mexico in 2006.
Officers also seized two kilos of heroin at the airport in 2006, arrested one man trying to fly 20 kilos of marijuana to Ontario in 2004 and arrested two men trying to smuggle 65,000 ecstasy pills into Canada from Europe in March 2003.
Border agency officials at the airport seized 19 kilos of opium in three shipments in 2003.

Air Canada spokesman John Reber confirmed that an airline employee has been suspended pending the results of the probe.
