OPP Seize $2.3 Million in Fentanyl, Three Arrested, One Wanted Canada-Wide
Ontario Provincial Police say they have dismantled an alleged interprovincial fentanyl trafficking network after seizing 18 kilograms of suspected fentanyl in Brampton, a haul valued at more than $2.3 million and equal to roughly 180,000 potentially lethal doses. The case, known as Project OLLIE, has led to charges against four people, while a fifth suspect remains wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
The OPP-led Border Drug Interdiction Task Force launched the investigation in May 2025 after identifying what police describe as a trafficking operation moving fentanyl between the Greater Toronto Area and Calgary. Officers executed a search warrant on Feb. 10 at a property on Albright Road in Brampton, where they also seized several cellphones.
Police arrested 20-year-old Navjot Singh of Brampton and charged him with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence related to trafficking firearms and fentanyl, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, and three counts of trafficking fentanyl. He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in a Brampton court on Friday.
Also on Feb. 10, investigators arrested 23-year-old Attarvir Singh of Calgary in Winnipeg on a Canada-wide warrant. He faces charges including conspiracy to traffic fentanyl, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl, and three counts of trafficking fentanyl. He remains in custody and was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
OPP said Alberta sheriffs later arrested 21-year-old Balwinder Singh of Calgary on Feb. 24 in Alberta. He is charged with conspiracy to traffic fentanyl, trafficking fentanyl, possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl, and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. He is also scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
A Canada-wide warrant has also been issued for 21-year-old Manpreet Singh of Calgary, who is wanted on charges including conspiracy to traffic firearms and fentanyl, along with four counts of trafficking fentanyl.
“Seizing 18 kilograms of suspected fentanyl, which is equivalent to 180,000 potentially lethal doses, means we have prevented a significant threat to public safety,” OPP Chief Superintendent Mike Stoddart said. Police are asking anyone with information on the wanted suspect, or on illegal drug and firearm activity, to contact the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
