The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are committed to preventing the smuggling of illegal and dangerous drugs.

On two separate occasions in July, CBSA officers at Vancouver International Airport seized a combined 24.84 kg of methamphetamine concealed in passenger suitcases destined for Sydney, Australia. At the time of this seizure, the street value of the methamphetamine was estimated at $1.25 million.

  • On July 27, 2024, CBSA Border Services Officers with the support of the Detector Dog Service, intercepted 10 kg of methamphetamine from a Canadian citizen. The methamphetamine was concealed in false sided compartments of two suitcases.
  • On July 29, 2024, CBSA Border Services Officers intercepted 14.84 kg of methamphetamine from a Canadian citizen while examining the traveller’s suitcase. Upon examination of the suitcase, officers discovered a total of four vacuum sealed packages containing methamphetamine wrapped in clothing.

On both occasions, the travellers were arrested and taken into custody by the RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime unit (FSOC).

The investigations are ongoing, and the RCMP FSOC is putting forward numerous criminal charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
