The OPP said the drugs were seized at the Peace Bridge port of entry from Buffalo into Fort Erie on Dec. 18, 2025.

“Upon primary inspection, border services officers referred the tractor trailer for examination,” the OPP said. “With the assistance of a CBSA detector dog, border services officers detected and seized 42 kg of suspected heroin concealed in the trailer.”
The estimated street value of the heroin is almost $7 million.
Officers also seized the tractor-trailer and two cellphones.
“This seizure demonstrates the critical importance of intelligence-led policing and strong partnerships at our borders. The OPP, working closely with the Canada Border Services Agency and our BEST partners, remains committed to disrupting the flow of illegal drugs into the communities we serve,” OPP Supt. Mike Stoddart said.
