TORONTO -- National police have charged two Toronto men with allegedly illegally importing almost a kilogram of heroin in video game consoles.

He appeared in court Nov. 12, when he was charged with another count of importing heroin. RCMP say he remains in custody, and will appear in a Brampton court Nov. 16.

Samuel Anike, 45, was charged with possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking and conspiracy to traffic a controlled substance. Police say he was released Nov. 9, and will appear in a Toronto court on Dec. 12.
