These significant seizures can be attributed to the collaboration of multiple CBSA units, including teams in the Metro Vancouver District, the Vancouver International Mail Centre, the Vancouver International Airport, the Pacific Region Intelligence Section, along with the collaboration and contributions from domestic and international law enforcement partners, the CBSA said.
The investigation of these seizures was referred to the RCMP in British Columbia, who worked with the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force.
“The successful seizures of a combined 397 kg and 1,278 litres of methamphetamine is a testament to the exemplary work and investigative expertise shown by Border Services officers, intelligence officers, analysts and liaison officers. I want to recognize the collaborative efforts of our partners, including the RCMP and Australian Federal Police, for their hard work and dedication to public safety,” said Nina Patel, Regional Director General, Pacific Region, CBSA.
