A California couple caught at the Coutts border as they tried to smuggle nearly 100 kilograms of cocaine into Alberta, is set to have a sentencing hearing later this fall.
Gurminder and Kirandeep Toor were found guilty by a jury last month of drug smuggling, but the matter was adjourned to find a date for the sentencing hearing. That hearing, a judge was told Monday in Lethbridge Court of Queen’s Bench, has been set for Oct. 29.
In addition to smuggling, Gurminder was found guilty of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking, and although Kirandeep faced the same charge, she was found not guilty of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking, but guilty of the lesser and included offence of simple drug possession.
