ABBOTSFORD — British Columbia’s government is trying to seize a rural Abbotsford property where a civil forfeiture claim says police found a clandestine drug laboratory, dozens of firearms, explosives and nearly two kilograms of fentanyl in May. Its own court filing shows that police had raided the same property a little more than two years earlier and seized guns, cocaine and pallets of cigarettes.
The notice of civil claim, filed October 16, 2026, in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in Victoria, seeks forfeiture of the property at 7696 Bradner Road and a second property at 178 Cliffview Drive in Enderby, in the North Okanagan, along with four vehicles, $4,285 in cash, gold and silver coins and bars, and jewellery.
About 50 kilometres by road southwest of the Enderby property is Falkland, the site of the fentanyl superlab the Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided in October 2024. As The Bureau has reported, that raid came after the RCMP repeatedly declined American requests to cooperate on a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation of fentanyl precursor chemicals shipped from China into Vancouver.
About 35 kilometres north of Enderby is Sicamous, on Shuswap Lake, where in 2018 investigators with the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams followed a delivery of 250,000 fentanyl pills in an investigation called Project Coyote. That case was linked to Chinese transnational organized crime, according to a senior police source The Bureau is not authorized to identify.
The civil claim does not connect the Enderby property to either case.
The claim says the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) began investigating Stephan Cyrille Rheal Beaudry of Surrey “and his involvement in criminal activity” in February 2026. During the investigation, it says, “numerous individuals, vehicles and properties were determined to be used by S. Beaudry and his associates to facilitate the criminal activity.”
On May 22, according to the claim, the CFSEU and the RCMP’s clandestine laboratory team searched the Bradner Road property. They “located a clandestine laboratory at the Bradner Property which contained various precursor chemicals and equipment used in the production of controlled substances,” the claim says. The RCMP’s Explosive Disposal Unit attended “to destroy explosives located at said property.”
According to the claim, officers also found 1,892.68 grams of fentanyl, 1,821.82 grams of methamphetamine, more than 44 litres of GHB, a pill press and “molds and stamps for bricks.” The filing lists 45 firearms and, in a separate entry, a firearm “mounted with a magnet under a desktop,” along with suppressors, drum magazines, blasting caps, a “trip wire alarm device,” “notebooks related to the trafficking of firearms” and “hard body armour with police markings.” A stolen 2022 Chevrolet Silverado was on the property.
Beaudry was arrested the next day. Among the items the claim says were seized from him were crystal methamphetamine, two phones, a firearms possession and acquisition licence in his name and a GPS jammer.
