Relevant forces used a sniffer dog to check a shipment with suspicious signs of drugs transported from Toronto (Canada) to Vietnam, transiting through the Republic of Korea. 

They found marijuana packaged in 27 vacuum bags which were hidden into bottles of supplementary diets. These bottles were then packaged in carton boxes of confectionery and personal utensils in order to evade the control of the customs authorities.

According to the police, the seized shipment should have been delivered to a person living in Ho Chi Minh City's District 7. 

The case is under investigation.
