Vancouver: At the peace bridge port of entry from Buffalo into Fort Erie, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) have seized 42 kg of suspected heroin from a tractor- trailer, attempting to enter Canada.
“This seizure is a great example of the excellent work and collaboration between the CBSA, the OPP and BEST. Partnerships and information sharing between law enforcement agencies yield real results for Canadians. The CBSA is committed to protecting the border and keeping illicit narcotics off our streets. ”said Michael Prosia, Regional Director General, Southern Ontario Region CBSA.
In December 2025, OPP members from the multi-agency Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST), which includes the CBSA, initiated an intelligence-led investigation into suspected drug trafficking activity and the alleged importation of heroin from the U.S. into Canada.

With the assistance of a CBSA detector dog, border services officers detected and seized 42 kg of suspected heroin concealed in the trailer. The CBSA also seized the tractor and trailer as offence-related property, and two cellphones. All seized items were turned over to the custody of the OPP.
