The Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) seized 80 kg of cocaine that was hidden in the truck trailer. The trailer returned to Canada from California, USA. 

 On February 5, 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.

Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety stated, "The CBSA works every day to stop criminals who try to smuggle illegal drugs into our country. In the battle against organized crime, CBSA officers are our first line of defence. In partnership with the RCMP, the CBSA is displaying its constant commitment to public safety in Canada.”

Nina Patel, Regional Director General, CBSA said, "CBSA officers are dedicated to keeping harmful drugs out of Canadian communities. This seizure is a great example of the expertise of CBSA officers as they continue to work hard each and every day. In collaboration with our RCMP law enforcement partners, we remain vigilant in securing our borders and disrupting crime.”
