The CBSA screens goods entering Canada, with heightened scrutiny on those that could endanger the safety and security of Canadians. On February 5, 2026, during one of those screenings, CBSA border services officers at the Kingsgate port of entry intercepted a commercial truck carrying alcohol products returning to Canada from California.

During secondary examination and with the support of CBSA’s Detector Dog Team, border services officers seized 80 kg of cocaine that was hidden in the truck trailer.

CBSA officers arrested the driver who was then transferred to the custody of the RCMP Federal Policing Pacific Region, Integrated Border Enforcement Team (IBET). The investigation remains ongoing.

In 2025, CBSA officers in the Pacific Region made 11,390 illegal narcotic seizures, including the seizure of 728 kg of cocaine.
