Nearly Seven Tonnes of Drugs and Fentanyl Chemicals Seized in Richmond, Canadian City at the Heart of China's Transnational Narco Economy

Burnaby police traced a traffic stop to five Richmond sites holding 6,765 kilograms of narcotics and precursor chemicals.

VANCOUVER — A Burnaby RCMP investigation that began with a routine traffic stop last summer has ended in one of the largest drug-chemical seizures in British Columbia’s history — 6,765 kilograms of finished narcotics and fentanyl-production chemicals pulled from three homes and two shipping containers in Richmond, alongside tactical shotguns, cash, contraband cigarettes — and a multi-antenna device consistent with the signal jammers used to defeat electronic surveillance.
