Vancouver, B.C. – March 13, 2026 — The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has seized 112 kilograms of opium following an inspection of a commercial truck at the Pacific Highway Commercial Operations port of entry.
According to CBSA, the seizure occurred on January 9, 2026, when Border Services Officers examined a driver returning to Canada from the United States after noticing an anomaly in the truck’s trailer. During the inspection, officers discovered cardboard boxes that were inconsistent with the packaging typically used to transport produce.
A detector dog team was deployed and gave a positive indication on the boxes. Officers subsequently uncovered 108 bricks of opium with a combined weight of 112 kilograms.
The driver and the seized narcotics were transferred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Federal Policing Pacific Region’s Drugs and Organized Crime Section. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing.
