Both suspects are appearing in Ontario Court of Justice in Sarnia, with charges pending court validation.

The information comes from a CBSA news release, and charges have not been proven in court.

A CBSA seizure at the Blue Water Bridge uncovered 111.4 kilograms of suspected cocaine concealed in a commercial truck arriving from the United States at the Point Edward, Ontario port of entry on February 19.

Since the start of 2025, CBSA Southern Ontario Region officers have seized 1,743 kilograms of cocaine originating from the United States, underscoring ongoing cross-border drug trafficking threats.

Two individuals, Sarkaren Vir Singh of Dartmouth and Chamkaur Singh of Belleville, were arrested and charged with Importation of Cocaine and Possession of Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking; the seized narcotics and suspects were handed to the RCMP and are awaiting court proceedings.

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree and officials from CBSA and RCMP stressed border security, cross-agency collaboration, and the commitment to disrupting illicit drug flows.

CBSA Regional Director General Michael Prosia highlighted the seizure as part of the agency’s mission to protect communities by disrupting illegal drug trafficking at the border.

The incident draws attention to illegal drug trafficking in the region and could prompt heightened security measures for commercial cargo at border crossings.

Investigations are centered on the supply chain and individuals involved, with authorities pursuing further leads.

Available quick facts outline border investments and the role of CBSA’s Intelligence Section in risk identification, inviting tips from the public about suspicious cross-border activity.

Officials noted that the seizure demonstrates ongoing border enforcement efforts and the authorities’ resolve to safeguard border integrity.

Historical context notes similar Blue Water Bridge smuggling cases, including a 2022 Brampton trucker conviction, illustrating an ongoing pattern at this crossing.
