The drugs have a street value of more than $1.5 million.The two women and children came into Pearson on a flight from Peru, according to the RCMP.Nalvarte's four children are in the custody of Peel CAS pending a review.

Both were on the same flight from St. Lucia.During the first incident, a 24 year-old man was charged after customs officers intercepted 4.5 kilograms of cocaine worth more than $560,000, which was "secreted in the spine of the luggage," according to CBSA spokesperson Patrizia Giolti. Daryl Augustin, of St. Lucia, has been charged with importing a controlled substance.Later, CBSA officers arrested a man and woman after 11.5 kilograms of cocaine was found hidden inside "false-sided luggage."
