Vancouver, British Columbia

Today, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced the seizure of 112 kg of opium following an examination of a commercial truck arriving at the Pacific Highway Commercial Operations port of entry.

On January 9, 2026, Border Services Officers at the Pacific Highway Commercial Operations port of entry examined a driver returning to Canada from the United States after observing an anomaly in the truck’s trailer. During the examination, officers found cardboard boxes that were inconsistent with the packaging typically used to transport produce. In addition, a Detector Dog team was deployed and made a positive indication on the boxes. As a result, Officers seized 108 bricks of opium, weighing 112 kg.

The CBSA transferred custody of the driver and the narcotics to the RCMP Federal Policing Pacific Region, Drugs and Organized Crime Section. The investigation remains ongoing.
