CBSA arrests truck driver after 266.4-kg meth seizure at Ontario border
Canada Border Services Agency officers in Ontario have arrested a truck driver attempting to smuggle 266.4 kg (587.3 pounds) of methamphetamine into the country this month.
On Feb. 4, a commercial truck arriving at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry in Point Edward, Ont., from the United States was referred for a secondary inspection. During an examination of the trailer, border services officers, assisted by a detector dog, found 16 duffle bags containing suspected methamphetamine, according to a CBSA news release.
The CBSA arrested Kulbir Singh, 29, of Woodstock, Ont., and transferred him and the narcotics to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Singh has been charged with importation of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
The case is before the Ontario Court of Justice in Sarnia, Ont. The charges have not been proven in court and the investigation is ongoing.
Since Jan. 1, 2025, CBSA officers in Southern Ontario have seized 616.5 kg of methamphetamine entering Canada from the United States.

seems to be a common denominator here amongst the majority of seizures … hope this one is being held in custody so he doesn’t flee the country before justice is served Enough is enough … wonder if the driver belongs to Driver Inc?? Maybe this might be another place to start looking into as well
this is another example of freight been hauled for nothing the last 80% seem to be our new drivers from Asia when are we goning to learn to stop hireing these people to haul our freight they are causing so many proplems on our highways and boder crossing
You get your day in court. Hear what they have to say. Then it’s an escort to the airport to back to wherever you came from. Pretty easy in my opinion. Oh you have family and loved ones here ? Well you should’ve thought of that before you put the drugs on board a commercial vehicle. Wait what ? You “say” you didn’t know ? Come on ! We aren’t all dummies in the room. Tell ya what, your family and loved ones can ride back with you to wherever it was you come from. Why do people think agents at the border are just sitting there for nothing. They know what’s going on. It seems every week now we’re hearing of drug seizures. Both sides to to step up with some serious consequences.
Why does it always seem to be a Singh? What does this say about our Country? how did we get here?
