Canadian police bust ‘largest drug superlab' in Canada; 95,500,000 potentially lethal doses seized
Ottawa: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) recently seized a massive amount of fentanyl and other drugs from what has been described as Canada's largest and most advanced drug superlab. This significant bust took place in Falkland, British Columbia, a community located approximately 50 km east of Kamloops.
Federal investigators confiscated 54 kg of fentanyl, enough to produce over 95.5 million potentially lethal doses, along with large quantities of precursor chemicals, 390 kg of methamphetamine, 35 kg of cocaine, 15 kg of MDMA, and 6 kg of cannabis. According to the RCMP, the fentanyl alone held the potential to claim the life of every Canadian citizen twice over, and the street value of the seized drugs is estimated at $485 million.
The RCMP, with support from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), undertook multiple search operations, preventing a 310 kg shipment of methamphetamine from being exported. Assistant Commissioner David Teboul, head of RCMP federal policing in B.C. and Yukon, described the seizure as “unprecedented” in the history of Canadian policing.
Gaganpreet Randhawa, identified as the primary suspect, was arrested and now faces several charges related to drug and firearms offences. The investigation highlights the scale and threat of transnational organised crime groups in Canada, with authorities calling this raid a decisive effort to disrupt the illicit drug trade.
