The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is committed to keeping harmful drugs from entering our communities and to disrupting organized crime.
Today, the CBSA announced the interception of 186 kg of methamphetamine and 42 kg of cocaine from two commercial trucks seeking entry into Canada at the Coutts port of entry in southern Alberta.
On December 24, 2024, CBSA officers examined a commercial truck that was carrying a mixed load destined for Calgary, Alberta. During the examination, officers noticed abnormalities in the load that led to the discovery of 186 kg of methamphetamine, with an estimated value of $1.86 million CAD.
On January 18, 2025, a commercial truck carrying a mixed shipment, also destined for Calgary, was directed towards secondary examination. During the search, officers found two cardboard boxes in the truck trailer containing multiple bricks of cocaine. In total, officers discovered and seized 42 kg of cocaine, with an estimated value of over $1 million CAD.
In both cases, the CBSA arrested the drivers who were then transferred to the custody of the Alberta RCMP. The investigations are ongoing.
