Canada launches 20 investigations into shipments of fentanyl from China
ROYAL Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are investigating 20 separate cases involving a total of 70 vendors shipping fentanyl, a deadly opioid, from China to Canada.
The mounties have teamed up with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to seize packages of fentanyl, make arrests and lay charges, reported Global News.
The Mounties and CBSA, along with Canada Post, have worked together to identify the most effective way to flag parcels arriving from China at three international mail-sorting centres based in Montreal, Mississauga (Ontario), and Vancouver.
The CBSA says 156 fentanyl seizures were made nationwide between June 2016 and September 6 of this year, 83 of them in the Pacific region.
"While most fentanyl seizures are made at the Vancouver International Mail Centre in the Pacific region, it is important to note that fentanyl has been seized at Pacific region's air cargo operations and in other modes and regions," the CBSA said in an email.
