Drugs Seized By Warship Built In Saint John

A Canadian frigate that was constructed at Saint John Shipbuilding back in the early 90's has made a major drug bust at sea.
    
The Department of National Defence is reporting the HMCS Toronto has seized around 500 kilograms of heroin from a boat in the Indian Ocean.
    
The drugs were found after a naval boarding party searched the vessel as part of a security operation. The HMCS Toronto is currently part of a international naval task force patrolling the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.   

HMCS Toronto's commanding officer David Patchell is calling it one of the largest heroin seizures in a maritime environment.
