5 different ways fentanyl was smuggled into Canada.

Postal service

Instead of using large overseas shipping containers, drug importers can use small packages delivered by Canada Post or a courier service.

Flaps

Comet Cans

Cocaine hidden in a can of Comet cleaner and a shotgun fitted with a muzzle flash limiter seized in Calgary.

Cargo shipments from overseas

Stolen BMW

What began as investigation into a stolen car turned into one of Calgary's largest fentanyl seizures.

Around 1,000 people lost their lives to overdoses last year in B.C. and many of those deaths are suspected to have been caused by fentanyl, a game-changing opioid that's a 100 times more potent than heroin.
