The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is announcing two significant seizures of cocaine that occurred at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry in Point Edward, Ontario.
On August 13, 2025, a commercial truck arrived from the United States at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry and was referred for a secondary examination. During the inspection of the trailer, border services officers found suspected cocaine contained in six boxes. The total weight of the narcotics was 150 kg, with an estimated street value of $18.8 million. The CBSA arrested Gurjeet Singh, 28, of Brampton, Ontario, and transferred him and the narcotics to the custody of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
A day later, on August 14, 2025, the CBSA referred another tractor-trailer coming from the United States for a secondary examination. Border services officers discovered 199 kg of suspected cocaine in the trailer of the commercial load, with an estimated value of $24.9 million. The CBSA arrested Abdikadir Egal, 38, of Etobicoke, Ontario, and transferred him and the narcotics to the custody of the RCMP.
Both Gurgeet and Abdikadir were charged by the RCMP with Importation of Cocaine, and Possession of Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
Both matters are currently before the Ontario Court of Justice in Sarnia, Ontario. The charges are subject to validation by the court.
The investigations are ongoing.
