Authorities find four stowaways in shipping container at Port of Montreal
MONTREAL — Four men found in a shipping container at the Port of Montreal were dehydrated and likely had been in the storage unit for many days, authorities said Thursday.
Stephane Smith, a spokesman for the Urgences Sante ambulance service, said two of the men had difficulty breathing.
“Many days, the exact number, I don’t know, but we’re talking many, many days,” Smith said in an interview.
The four, who are aged between 30 and 40, were transported to a local hospital to receive medical assistance.
