The driver was arrested and inside the vehicle police found multiple packages wrapped in cellophane and tied with fishing line.\u00a0They also recovered several of the items thrown out of the window. They included a drone and remote control, narcotics, two cell phones, and six SIM cards. In total police recovered 43 g of marijuana, 56 g of shatter cannabis, and 41.9 grams of MDMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Court heard Al-Naqeeb has a criminal record including a previous conviction for trafficking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A joint position was put forward for 10 months of house arrest and two months under curfew. Justice Anastasia Nichols said she felt the proposal was so low it potentially fell outside the spectrum of an acceptable sentence. However, she \u201creluctantly\u201d agreed to accept the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A plot to fly drugs into a Gravenhurst prison via a drone came crashing down thanks to a keen-eyed citizen.
