Gurjot Singh, 24, arrested and charged with drug trafficking
SURREY Police Service (SPS) on Monday announced arrests, charges, and drug seizures as a result of a four-month project dubbed “Project Phantom”.
In February, SPS’s Prolific Offender Unit (POU) initiated an investigation into several individuals believed to be involved in drug trafficking, including potentially deadly fentanyl.
Investigators gathered evidence of alleged drug trafficking activities associated to a Surrey residence. On May 21, 2026, POU detectives obtained a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrant for the residence which was executed with assistance from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team (LMD ERT), and SPS frontline members.
As a result of the search warrant, three men were arrested and drugs, worth an estimated street value of $891,000, were seized. Items seized include:
- 15.89 kilograms of opium
- 1,529 grams of cannabis
- 559 grams of cocaine
- 468 grams of fentanyl (estimated to be approximately 23,400 lethal doses)
- 148 grams of methamphetamine
- 35 grams of heroin
- Packaging materials, scales, and cookware consistent with drug processing and distribution
- $2,149.90 in Canadian currency
The three men were released from custody after their arrest. The investigation continued and on June 19, Gurjot Singh, a 24-year-old male, was arrested and charged with the following CDSA offences:
- one count of trafficking in a controlled substance
- five counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking
Gurjot Singh has been remanded in custody until his next scheduled court date of June 26. Gurjot Singh is a foreign national and SPS has engaged the CBSA. The other two men initially arrested have not been charged with any offences and have been removed from Canada by CBSA.
