Maxine Rose,Charles McLean,Darryl Taylor :Another cocaine smuggling ring at Pearson International Airport Busted

Another cocaine smuggling ring at Pearson International Airport Busted.
In the latest scheme, a "hapless single mother" was allegedly used as a courier, police say.
According to the RCMP, in January 2006, a 25-year-old student and single mother was arrested at Pearson after two kilograms of cocaine was smuggled into Canada.
Police say the woman was recruited by a family friend and introduced to two men who allegedly offered her an all-expenses-paid trip to Antigua and $5,000 in exchange for smuggling cocaine into Canada.
The woman has been charged, but the RCMP isn't releasing her name out of concern for her safety.
"Thanks to some good police work by the investigator, this trio will not
be exploiting anyone else for a while," said Sgt. Frank Gougeon, head of the RCMP's General Investigation Impact Team.
Maxine Rose, 32, of Markham, and Darryl Taylor, 26, of Toronto, are charged with conspiring to import cocaine into Canada, and importing cocaine into Canada. Rose and Taylor are before the courts on these charges and a warrant has been issued for Charles McLean, 41, of no fixed address, on the same charges.
McLean is believed to have fled to St. Vincent.
Police have thwarted a number of cocaine smuggling rings at Pearson in recent months, including one on Nov. 17 in which Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers teamed up with the special Toronto Airport Drug Enforcement Unit to intercept more than 50 kilograms of cocaine worth more than $6.6 million that was brought into Canada.

I feel that all the people involved in this smuggling ring should be accountable for their actions .I beleive they all should do jail time .I beleive our country CANADA is a good country and we as CANADIANS need to take a stand against these people who bring DRUGS into our country we have enough with other crimes like terroist. I also beleive that the 25 year old person who was arrested isn't as innoncent as made out to be . Do the crime pay the time . Noone should get away with this kind of crime .
