Two GTA men are accused of attempting to smuggle cocaine after they were arrested by the RCMP while allegedly unloading their shipment.

The Mounties said Tuesday that officers with the Canada Border Services Agency in Montreal intercepted a shipping container with 27 kilograms of cocaine hidden among other cargo on Jan. 15.

The RCMP’s National Ports Enforcement Team was contacted. The team modified the shipment and allowed it to continue to Toronto. On Feb. 4 two suspects were arrested as they allegedly unloaded what they thought were products containing cocaine.

Soon Fat Liew, 28, and Jim Toung La, 41, are charged with conspiracy to import cocaine into Canada, importing cocaine and possession with the intent of trafficking. They appeared in a Newmarket court last week.
