Usual suspects for the latest meth bust is the Sandher Crime Family. |
Sandhers got slightly craftier. The Australian shell company becomes an import/export company in disguise.
RCMP say 3 have been arrested after 115 kg of meth was uncovered in a shipment of pickles in January at the Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility.
The RCMP Federal Policing Pacific Region said cops identified a shipment of drugs about to be exported to Australia from B.C. The shipment arrived in Melbourne on 4 March, 2026. Australian Border Force delivered inert product to an address in Campbellfield, Victoria, on 17 March, 2026 and busted 2. Also on March 17, a 46-year-old ‘foreign national’ was arrested in Kelowna. He was released with a referral to the CBSA due to his immigration status. RCMP executed search warrants in Abbotsford, Kelowna and the Lower Nicola region, seizing cellphones and other devices.
| On March 17, two men, 40 and 63, were arrested in Australia and homes in Sydney and Melbourne searched. Raids returned $400k cash, 8 1kg silver bars, a luxury vehicle, jewelry and watches, electronic devices and drug paraphernalia. |
One fingers the Sandher Crime Family instantly. That suspicion was confirmed as fact. The number of wholesale meth producers in the Okanagan isn’t a long list.
