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.
