OPP Seizes 18 Kg of Suspected Fentanyl, Charges Four in GTA–Calgary Trafficking Probe

Police say the months‑long Project OLLIE investigation thwarted an alleged fentanyl pipeline between Toronto’s suburbs and Calgary.

$2.3 million worth of suspected fentanyl has been seized, which is equivalent to roughly 180,000 lethal doses.
CPS criminal operation and intelligence division superintendent Jeff Bell speaks to media on June 1, 2018.
An investigation between Ontario and Calgary police resulted in three arrests and a warrant for a fourth person and $2.3 million in fentanyl seized.

Overview

  • Officers executing a Feb. 10 search warrant at an Albright Road residence in Brampton seized 18 kilograms of suspected fentanyl and several cellphones.
  • Investigators value the seizure at more than $2.3 million and estimate it equals roughly 180,000 potentially lethal doses, calling it a significant public‑safety prevention.
  • Navjot Singh, 20, was arrested in Brampton, Attarvir Singh, 23, was arrested in Winnipeg on a Canada‑wide warrant, and Balwinder Singh, 21, was arrested in Alberta.
  • Manpreet Singh, 21, is wanted on a Canada‑wide warrant for conspiracy to traffic firearms and fentanyl along with four counts of trafficking fentanyl.
  • Project OLLIE began in May 2025 under the OPP’s Border Drug Interdiction Task Force with support from Calgary Police, RCMP units, Winnipeg Police and Alberta Sheriffs; the accused were remanded and scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton, and police are seeking tips via local authorities or Crime Stoppers.
