Gaganpreet Randhawa Named Prime Suspect as RCMP Dismantles Canada’s Largest Drug Superlab in B.C.
The RCMP reported confiscating around 500 kilograms of hard drugs, which included 55 kilograms of fentanyl, 390 kilograms of methamphetamine, 35 kilograms of cocaine, 15 kilograms of MDMA, and 6 kilograms of cannabis.
Canadian law enforcement RCMP has dismantled what they describe as the largest drug superlab in the country’s history, a major strike against transnational organized crime. The RCMP-led investigation, spanning months, unraveled a sophisticated network allegedly producing and distributing massive amounts of illegal drugs across Canada.
Assistant Commissioner David Teboul, overseeing federal policing in the Pacific Region, announced the operation’s results at a press conference. Teboul explained that the investigation exposed an advanced drug superlab operating out of Falkland, British Columbia, alongside other operational sites in Surrey, BC. The law enforcement operation, which included several search warrants and enforcement actions, resulted in the seizure of a staggering volume of drugs, firearms, and chemical precursors.
The RCMP reported confiscating around 500 kilograms of hard drugs, which included 55 kilograms of fentanyl, 390 kilograms of methamphetamine, 35 kilograms of cocaine, 15 kilograms of MDMA, and 6 kilograms of cannabis. This bust equates to tens of millions of potential drug doses removed from circulation. For context, the fentanyl alone represented an estimated 95 million lethal doses, enough to endanger every Canadian twice over, according to Teboul.
The seized fentanyl, meth, and other drugs were intended for large-scale distribution across Canada, Teboul indicated, which could have generated nearly half a billion dollars in revenue for the organized crime syndicate.
