The Ontario Provincial Police and Canada Border Services Agency have seized 42 kilograms of suspected heroin with an estimated street value of nearly $7 million from a tractor-trailer attempting to enter Canada at the Peace Bridge.
In December 2025, OPP members assigned to the multi-agency Border Enforcement Security Task Force, which includes the CBSA, launched an intelligence-led investigation into suspected drug trafficking and the alleged importation of heroin from the United States, police said in a news release.
On Dec. 18, based on intelligence from the OPP, CBSA Intelligence and the National Targeting Centre, border services officers identified a suspect tractor-trailer attempting to enter Canada from Buffalo, N.Y., at the Peace Bridge port of entry in Fort Erie, Ont.
Following a primary inspection, the vehicle was referred for further examination. With the assistance of a CBSA detector dog, officers located and seized 42 kilograms of suspected heroin concealed within the trailer.
The CBSA also seized the tractor, trailer and two cellphones as offence-related property. All seized items were turned over to the OPP. Police estimate the street value of the drugs at $6.98 million.
