The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is committed to protecting our communities by preventing harmful drugs from crossing our borders and combating transnational organized crime.

Today, the CBSA announced over 60 seizures of methamphetamine in British Columbia destined for export to Australia between March and August 2024. These seizures include 397 kg of crystal methamphetamine and 1,278 litres of liquid methamphetamine, which combined represents approximately 8 million individual doses.

  • On March 12, 2024, Border Services Officers from the Metro Vancouver District seized 194 kg of methamphetamine at the Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility.
  • Between the months of April and August 2024, Border Services Officers at the Vancouver International Mail Centre seized a combined 85 kg of methamphetamine in 54 separate incidents.
  • Between the months of May and August 2024, Border Services Officers at Vancouver International Air Cargo Operations seized a combined 93 kg of methamphetamine.
  • In July 2024, Border Services Officers at Vancouver International Passenger Operations seized a combined 25 kg of methamphetamine in two separate incidents.

These significant seizures can be attributed to the collaboration of multiple CBSA units, including teams in the Metro Vancouver District, the Vancouver International Mail Centre, the Vancouver International Airport, the Pacific Region Intelligence Section, along with the collaboration and contributions from our domestic and international law enforcement partners.

The investigation of these seizures was referred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in British Columbia, who worked with the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force.
