Overview
- The Chilliwack RCMP, which released the lab totals Wednesday, reported 39.31 kilograms of fentanyl, fluorofentanyl and related mixtures, equal to about 400,000 doses.
- Officers also tallied 43.09 kilograms of methyl‑methcathinone, 3.96 kilograms of MDMA plus 3,766 pills, 2.9 kilograms of methamphetamine, and more than 5,000 kilograms of precursor chemicals with a pill press and reactor vessels.
- Investigators linked a separate November 2025 haul of 50.47 kilograms of fluorofentanyl to the same clandestine operation.
- Health Canada chemists and RCMP clandestine‑lab teams led a months‑long dismantling with out‑of‑province hazardous‑waste experts because a highly dangerous chemical was on site, and the work drew hundreds of thousands of dollars from a CFSEU‑managed program.
- Two men arrested in October 2025 — 35‑year‑old Justin Fauth and 37‑year‑old Carlos Martinez — remain in custody as the investigation continues through the courts.
