Kim Boland updated the status of various lab busts and Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa on January 2. Here.
Since Canada’s largest fentanyl lab in Falkland was busted by the RCMP on October 25, 2024, Cops raided 14 other drug labs across B.C. 8 of those were ‘synthesis labs’. Half a dozen of those were directly connected to the Sandher Crime Family. Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa is due to have yet another bail hearing in B.C. Supreme Court in February 2026 with a trial set for April 2027 — 2½ years after his arrest.
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa remains the only man charged in the Falkland lab bust. The lab was a major part of the Lyons/Sandher/Sinaloa Cartel operation. Haul was 390kg of meth, 54kg of fentanyl, 35kg of cocaine and 15kg of MDMA. The Falkland drug lab was connected to the September 2024 seizure of 30 tonnes of precursors in Enderby.
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa had another bail hearing scheduled for July 8, 2025, at least his 6th. Despite rumors, there hasn’t been a plea deal hammered out.

Why Randhawa would hestitate jumping into witness protection is a mystery. His life is worthless. He either rats the Sandhers out or they will eliminate him if they get a chance. |
Randhawa must realize that ratting everyone out is his only way of staying alive. The pen surely won’t work and even PC (protected custody) is problematic for somebody like him. Randhawa, if released, is a massive large hit target. Randhawa MUST be silenced.
| Given any opportunity, Randhawa will be whacked by the Sinaloa Cartel. Gurtaj Singh Sandher has many reasons to worry about Randhawa. |  |
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa, 33, is from Jalandhar in Punjab. He faces 7 charges including drugs, weapons and explosives. Randhawa is a Jatt clan found in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan.
The haul of drugs from the Falkland superlab was destined primarily for Australia and New Zealand. Australia is one of the most lucrative markets in the world for meth. Prices can reach $185k per kilo. |
The B.C. director of civil forfeiture filed a forfeiture claim January 31, 2025 against the property at 5011 Hoath Road in Falkland. Named in the claim are Michael Driehuyzen and Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. Equipment includes a mass spectrometer, a gas chromatograph, an industrial power generator, a trailer and a flat deck. Driehuyzen had nothing to say, and told Global News to contact his lawyer. The Sandhers leased the ground from Driehuyzen.

Sandher lawyer Bert Tonsoo (rtonsoo@bensonlawllp.com) drafted the lease agreement. |
Criminal defence lawyer Joel Whysall isn’t talking either. He does say Driehuyzen’s Charter rights were violated. In 2015 and 2016 cops busted pot grow ops on the property.
