Police in Vietnam said they have found nearly nine tons of cannabis in a shipment of blue jeans from Pakistan.



The authorities said the seizure, which is valued at 45 million pounds, is their largest find ever.



The drugs, which were reportedly shipped through the port of Hai Phong, were found near the border with China, and have been bound for Canada.



Four Chinese citizens and one Indonesian have been arrested in connection with the find.
