Canada border services suspect Montreal man for fentanyl seizure at Vancouver’s airport

VICTORIA—The Canada Border Services Agency has seized a package containing enough fentanyl that Victoria police say could cause a potential 725,000 overdoses. The package intercepted at Vancouver’s airport was destined for a Victoria address and contained 1.45 kilograms of the deadly opioid, acting police chief Del Manak told a news conference where a variety of drugs packaged in plastic bags were displayed on a table. Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the shipment originated in China and he’s hopeful a recent agreement between the RCMP and the Chinese government will deal with “the impact that fentanyl is having not only in British Columbia but across Canada.” “People need to be aware of the significant danger that these things present,” he said of the seizure that police have valued at about $1.2 million.
