“This is the largest narcotics seizure to date at the Abbotsford-Huntingdon port of entry,” stated Nina Patel, the regional director general of CBSA Pacific Region. “In partnership with the RCMP, we continue to put pressure on criminal networks, disrupt the flow of illegal drugs and keep dangerous individuals out of our communities.”
Singh was arrested and then transferred to the custody of the RCMP Federal Policing Pacific Region, Integrated Border Enforcement Team (FPPR IBET).
“Working alongside our CBSA partners, we’ve executed a significant seizure that demonstrates our collective strength in dismantling transnational drug networks before they can harm our communities,” stated Stephen Lee, the acting reginal commander for RCMP Federal Policing in the Pacific Region. “I commend our investigators whose diligent work has not only led to criminal charges but reinforces our commitment to identifying and stopping those who attempt to exploit our borders for illicit trafficking.”
Singh is a foreign national and these charges could lead to removal from Canada or a permanent ban from the country.
CBSA added that between Jan. 1 and Oct. 31, 2025, officers in the Pacific Region made 10,428 illegal narcotic seizures, including the seizure of 1,041 kg of methamphetamines. CBSA detector dog service teams carried out 29,486 searches, uncovering 13,986 high-risk food, plant, and animal items, along with 34,810 seizures involving drugs, firearms, and currency.
