Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has made a major liquid methamphetamine bust taking an estimated $2 million of illegal drugs off our streets.

The seizure of 1,278 litres of liquid methamphetamine in B.C. was bound for export to Australia. This seizure represents approximately four million individual doses.

In a news release, the CBSA said on June 27, officers from the Metro Vancouver District, with the support of the Detector Dog Service, examined a container destined for export through the Fraser Surrey Docks. During the exam, officers found anomalies in the packaging of the bottles labelled as apple and grape juice. Upon further examination, officers discovered 1,320 bottles filled with methamphetamine.

“This significant seizure can be attributed to the collaboration of multiple CBSA units, including teams in the Metro Vancouver District Marine Operations, the Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility and Pacific Region Intelligence Section, along with the collaboration and contributions from our domestic and international law enforcement partners,” said the CBSA in the news release.

The investigation of these seizures was referred to the RCMP in Ontario, who worked with the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force. As a result of the collaboration between agencies, three individuals in Australia were charged in relation to this seizure.

“This is another example of working closely with our international partners and maintaining strong relationships with law enforcement agencies around the world,” said Nina Patel, regional director general for the CBSA Pacific Region. “Transnational crime has no borders, as we live in an increasingly global and interconnected world. The RCMP looks beyond the Canadian borders and works closely with its international partners to disrupt international drug trafficking networks.”
