The accused was charged with importing heroin, conspiring to import heroin, possession of heroin for the purpose of trafficking, and conspiring to possess heroin for the purpose of trafficking.
The charges arose from a controlled delivery of a package containing heroin concealed in mascara tubes.
The court found that the circumstantial evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused knew the package contained a controlled substance and that it came from outside Canada.
The accused was found guilty of importing heroin and possession for the purpose of trafficking, but acquitted of the conspiracy charges due to insufficient evidence of an agreement with others.
