Canadian Border Agents Seize Over 60 Meth Shipments Bound for Australia

The seizures, totaling nearly 400 kg of crystal meth and 1,300 litres of liquid meth, are part of a collaborative effort with Australian authorities to combat drug smuggling.

  • Between March and August 2024, Canadian border officers in British Columbia made 60 methamphetamine seizures destined for Australia.
  • The seizures included 397 kg of crystal methamphetamine and 1,278 litres of liquid methamphetamine, equating to about 8 million doses.
  • Smugglers used creative methods to conceal the drugs, including disguising them as blankets soaked in liquid meth and crystal meth molded to look like candles.
  • The Canada Border Services Agency collaborated with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Australian Federal Police, and the Australian Border Force.
  • The ongoing investigation highlights the CBSA's commitment to disrupting transnational organized crime and ensuring public safety.
