The Canada Border Services Agency says it seized 345 bags of suspected cannabis late last month while inspecting a marine container at the Halifax port that was destined for the Caribbean.

The agency said in a news release Tuesday that it found 165 kilograms of the suspected cannabis concealed throughout the container during a search on Aug. 29.

The news release didn't say if anyone has been arrested, but the cannabis has been turned over to the RCMP.

An investigation is underway.
