There was a major drug bust in British Columbia that started in December 2024 and culminated this past May.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) says it has concluded a significant organized crime investigation that resulted in the seizure of large quantities of illicit drugs, firearms, cash proceeds, and offence-related property linked to individuals believed to pose a significant threat to public safety.

By late April 2026, investigators had identified five locations for coordinated enforcement action and obtained search warrants. On May 3rd a commercial truck driver was arrested at a shopping plaza in Delta, BC, during what investigators believe was a drug-related exchange involving another individual from Vancouver. During the arrest, police seized 10 one-kilogram bricks of cocaine along with approximately $500,000 in vacuum-sealed cash.

The arrest triggered the execution of multiple search warrants at locations throughout Metro Vancouver with the preliminary seizure totals including approximately $1.5 million in bundled cash, approximately 26 kilograms of cocaine, an estimated seven kilograms of methamphetamine, five vehicles, including three equipped with sophisticated after-market hidden compartments, a commercial tractor trailer, 250 kilograms of cocaine cutting agents, 12 long guns and four handguns, including one fitted with a prohibited suppressor; and an estimated 150 empty kilogram cocaine wrappers.

In a news release the police said the individuals and organized crime groups responsible for trafficking illicit drugs continue to fuel addiction, exploit vulnerable people, and contribute to violence in communities.
