Canadian officials achieve the "largest drug seizure in the history of the Prairies" with the arrest of Indian-origin trucker Komalpreet Sidhu. The 406.2 kg methamphetamine haul, valued at over 51 million Canadian dollars, was discovered at the Boissevain port of entry in Manitoba. Packed in suitcases, the illicit substances are estimated to equate to 4 million doses. Sidhu faces charges for importing and possessing methamphetamine, with the RCMP, CBSA, and international agencies jointly investigating the cross-border drug trafficking operation. The seized drugs will be destroyed after further investigations.
