The CBSA said that on Feb. 4, a commercial truck arriving from the United States was referred to for secondary examination. During inspection, officers and a detector dog detected 16 duffle bags with suspected meth.

Since Jan. 1, 2025, the CBSA said that in Southern Ontario alone, officers have seized more than 1,300 pounds of methamphetamine coming from the U.S.
“Our government’s top priority is to ensure the safety and security of Canadians. I want to thank the CBSA and the RCMP for their dedication to stopping criminal activity and for safeguarding communities across Canada from the damaging effects of drugs. Border services officers serve as our first line of defence against transnational crime," Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree said in a statement.
