BLAINE — Three men, including two U.S. citizens, were arrested at the U.S.- Canada border Saturday night for allegedly attempting to smuggle more than 93,000 tablets of ecstasy into Blaine.

The estimated street value of the ecstasy is $ 1.4 million, federal officials said.

Customs and Border Protection officers arrested Jamie Alphonse Cadorette, of Burnaby, B.C., at 6 p.m. Saturday when they discovered approximately 35 pounds of ecstasy tablets in the rear speaker of a 1986 Honda Civic driven by Cadorette.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents also arrested two Americans who were allegedly preparing to take delivery of the drugs on Peace Portal Drive in Blaine — Brian John Coll, 29, and Anthony Kwan Drawhorn, 42, both of Los Angeles.

Peg Fearon, Customs’ area port director in Blaine, said ecstasy smuggling attempts remain on the increase this year.
