Almost 40 kg of fentanyl, fentanyl-like products seized at Chilliwack, B.C., lab
Specialized crews handled the dangerous cleanup after officers seized 40 kilograms of fentanyl and analogs and 5,000 kilograms of chemicals, RCMP said.
- RCMP say cleanup of an illicit drug-production superlab in British Columbia's Fraser Valley cost hundreds of thousands of dollars after investigators discovered 40 kilograms of fentanyl and 5,000 kilograms of chemicals.
- Darren Pankratz, commanding officer of the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP, said the cleaning process was complex and hazardous due to the lab's "inherent dangers" requiring significant time for safe dismantling.
- Specialized resources including Health Canada chemists and the RCMP's clandestine lab enforcement team were deployed to ensure investigators and neighbouring residents remained safe during substance and equipment removal.
- Investigators linked the Chilliwack facility to 50 kilograms of fluorofentanyl seized last November; police arrested Justin Fauth and Carlos Martinez in October 2025, both remaining before the courts.
- A year-end report from Fentanyl Czar Kevin Brosseau indicates the Chilliwack seizure reflects a broader national crisis, with more than 550 kilograms of fentanyl and analogs seized countrywide last year.
