· Toronto Sun
A 29-year-old man from Woodstock has been charged with drug offences after more than a quarter-tonne of methamphetamine was seized earlier this month at the Blue Water Bridge near Sarnia.
The Canada Border Services Agency said the seizure came about after a commercial truck crossing the bridge, which links Port Huron, Mich., to Point Edward, Ont., was referred to the CBSA on Feb. 4 for a secondary inspection.

Officers inspected the trailer with the aid of a detector dog and found 16 duffel bags that contained 266.4 kg of suspected methamphetamine.
“This seizure demonstrates the effectiveness of border services officers in intercepting illegal drugs and keeping Canadian communities safe,” Michael Prosia, the CBSA’s director general of the southern Ontario region, said in a news release.
“Thanks to the work of our dedicated frontline personnel involved in this seizure, a significant quantity of narcotics is now off our streets of southern Ontario.”

The CBSA said Kulbir Singh was arrested and was handed over to the RCMP, along with the narcotics. He has been charged with importation of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking.
The investigation is ongoing.
With the latest bust, the CBSA said it has seized 616.5 kg of methamphetamine entering the southern Ontario region from the United States since Jan. 1, 2025.
“Our government’s top priority is to ensure the safety and security of Canadians,” Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said. “I want to thank the CBSA and the RCMP for their dedication to stopping criminal activity and for safeguarding communities across Canada from the damaging effects of drugs.”
