The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has made a major bust, seizing 419 kg of cocaine, valued at $11 million, from two tractor-trailers entering Canada from the U.S. at the Blue Water Bridge.

As part of the investigation, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has charged Pawandeep Dhillon, 34, of Innisfil, Ontario, for importing 86 kg of cocaine, worth $2.3 million, on February 27.

Just a week later, on March 6, Ravinderbir Singh, 23, of Brampton, Ontario, was also charged after attempting to smuggle 333 kg of cocaine, valued at $9 million, across the border.

The CBSA and RCMP continue their efforts to combat cross-border drug trafficking, emphasizing the importance of strict border enforcement to protect Canada from organized crime and the importation of illicit substances.
