CBSA officers at the Ambassador Bridge — the busiest commercial border crossing in North America — referred a truck arriving from the United States for secondary examination on September 11, 2026. A detector dog found 127 kg of suspected cocaine in the trailer. Two Mississauga men, 61 and 41, were arrested and charged by the RCMP with importation of cocaine and possession for the purpose of trafficking; the case is before the Ontario Court of Justice in Windsor. The CBSA notes its Southern Ontario Region has seized 1.67 tonnes of cocaine so far in 2026.
