Authorities say a Canadian man was arrested while pulling a sled carrying more than 180 pounds of prescription pills across the border into the US.

The US attorney’s office says 21-year-old Cedrik Bourgault-Morin was apprehended early on Wednesday after he crossed the border from Quebec along a railroad line into North Troy, Vermont.

Prosecutors say Bourgault-Morin was wearing white camouflage and border patrol agents were alerted to his presence when he triggered a sensor.

Prosecutors say agents found 300 vacuum-sealed bags of anti-anxiety Xanax pills in a duffel bag on the sled. They say the pills had a street value of $1.6m.

Bourgault-Morin was being held on Thursday in a Vermont prison. His attorney has not returned a call seeking comment.
