SEATTLE —
Federal officials say two Canadians were arrested on a beach in northwest Washington as they were allegedly preparing to smuggle about 260 pounds of cocaine into Canada on a personal watercraft.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, Lorie Dankers, says 48-year-old Dhymitruy Bouryiotis and 36-year-old Montgomery Read Hill, both from the Vancouver, British Columbia, area, were arrested for investigation of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
An agency news release says that at about 1:30 a.m. Friday, federal border agents observed a person, later identified as Bouryiotis, moving heavy objects from a home to the shoreline at Birch Point, southwest of Blaine and a short distance south of the Canadian border.
About 2:30 a.m., a personal watercraft approached the beach and the operator, identified as Hill, met up with Bouryiotis on the beach, where they were arrested.
Agents found five bags on the beach filled with packages of suspected cocaine.
