Two Brampton residents who operate a local trucking company are facing conspiracy charges after investigators linked them to a significant cocaine seizure at the Blue Water Bridge earlier this year. Police say the arrests mark another major case involving commercial vehicles used to move drugs between Canada and the United States.
A 300-kilogram load of cocaine was intercepted in March at the border crossing that connects Point Edward and Michigan. Officers arrested 23-year-old truck driver Ravinderbir Singh and charged him with importing cocaine and possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. He had been hauling for Divine Freightlines, a company owned by 32-year-old Lovedeep Singh and 29-year-old Khushdeep Singh, both from Brampton.
Subsequent investigation led the RCMP to charge Lovedeep Singh and Khushdeep Singh with conspiracy to import cocaine into Canada between March 1 and March 6. Court documents say they organized and directed the truck driver during that period. The pair also face broader conspiracy charges alleging involvement in a plan to import cocaine and methamphetamine between January 1, 2024 and July 16, 2025.
Police said the investigation expanded after border officers stopped the truck in March. Evidence collected during a search warrant and financial records obtained through a production order supported the new charges. An RCMP spokesperson said this information allowed investigators to establish grounds to link the owners of Divine Freightlines to the larger importation scheme.
Both men were also charged with possessing the proceeds of crime. Officers seized $115,250 in cash during the investigation. Khushdeep Singh faces an additional charge for possessing more than $5,000 in illicit proceeds.
According to police, the pair left Canada for India shortly after their home was searched. Lovedeep Singh later returned and was taken into custody. He remains held for a bail hearing. A warrant has been issued for Khushdeep Singh, who remains outside the country. Ravinderbir Singh is scheduled to appear in court in early December.
This case adds to a series of major drug seizures at the Blue Water Bridge linked to commercial trucking operations. In June 2024, three people were charged after officers found roughly 460 kilograms of cocaine in a tractor trailer. In April 2023, a Mississauga driver was arrested when border staff uncovered 45 kilograms of cocaine, an investigation that led to another Brampton suspect the following year.
The most recent charges surface as another trucking duo faces accusations of smuggling methamphetamine across the same border crossing.
