Driver of Canada-bound semi truck faces charges for smuggling 133 pounds of cocaine, feds say

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized more than 100 pounds of illegal drugs from a semi truck at a Canadian border crossing.

On June 11, 2026, a commercial vehicle approached the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, Michigan, seeking entry into Ontario.

The vehicle was selected for a secondary inspection involving a canine unit.

A physical search of the truck uncovered “55 shrink-wrapped bricks of a white powdery substance concealed within two cardboard boxes,” CBP said.

Testing later confirmed that the substance was cocaine.

Authorities seized the truck, trailer, and 133 pounds of cocaine.

The truck driver, an Indian citizen, faces federal charges.

“With this drug seizure, our frontline officers have dealt another significant financial blow to the transnational criminal networks attempting to exploit our shared border for profit,” said Port Director Jeffrey Wilson.     

“Every narcotic interdiction breaks a link in the criminal supply chain,” said Director of Field Operations Marty C. Raybon. “We will not allow our borders to be a conduit for dangerous drugs, and we’ll continue to hold accountable those involved.”

Homeland Security is investigating this case.
