RCMP Dismantles “Largest And Most Sophisticated Fentanyl And Methamphetamine Drug Superlab In Canada”

The RCMP has dismantled what it calls the largest and most sophisticated fentanyl and methamphetamine drug superlab in Canada.

The combined fentanyl and precursors seized could have amounted to over 95,500,000 potentially lethal doses of fentanyl.

RCMP Federal Policing units in BC launched an investigation into a transnational organized crime group believed to be involved in the mass-production, and distribution of fentanyl and methamphetamine across Canada, and internationally.

Last Friday, federal investigators conducted a series of coordinated sweeps across Metro Vancouver and executed search warrants on a massive drug superlab in Falkland and associated locations in Surrey.

In addition to the massive quantities of drugs and precursor chemicals, investigators seized a total of 89 firearms, which included 45 handguns, 21 Ar-15-style rifles, and submachine guns; many of which were loaded and ready for use.

The searches also yielded small explosive devices, large amounts of ammunition, firearm silencers, high-capacity magazines, body armour, and $500,000 in cash.

One person was arrested and is currently in custody.

The investigation continues.
