October 31 2024: The RCMP recently dismantled what they describe as Canada’s largest and most advanced drug superlab. The RCMP believe its linked to a transnational organized crime group.
Investigators say this high-tech lab, located in Falkland, BC, was capable of producing fentanyl and methamphetamine on a massive scale, yielding quantities that could have led to over 95 million lethal doses of fentanyl.
In the press release RCMP report the coordinated raid on October 25, involving various RCMP and tactical units, led to the seizure of 54 kg of fentanyl, 390 kg of meth, and other drugs, along with 89 firearms, explosives, silencers, body armor, and $500,000 in cash.
Authorities also say they intercepted an additional 310 kg of methamphetamine destined for export.
In the press release, RCMP say Gaganpreet Randhawa, their primary suspect, has been charged with multiple drug and weapons offenses.
This operation connects to an earlier raid on September 11 at a rural property in Enderby, BC, where RCMP seized over 30,000 kg of precursor chemicals used in synthetic drug production.
Although no charges have been filed in the Enderby case, investigations continue, as both sites are believed by RCMP to share chemical suppliers.
