BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Jun 2, 2022 2:14 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

A Belgian man faces charges after a suspect was caught with five kilograms of heroin in luggage at the Calgary International Airport.

RCMP say the accused had arrived at the Calgary International Airport on a flight from Frankfurt, Germany on May 27, and was referred to a secondary inspection.

That's when Canada Border Services Agency officers seized four packages containing the dope.

Bernard Vandenberghe, who is 63, is charged with smuggling and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
