Police say some 180,000 potentially lethal fentanyl doses worth over $2.3 million have been seized, leading to charges for a Brampton man and a Canada-wide search for a suspect from Calgary.

The OPP says the investigation into a suspected inter-provincial drug ring started nearly a year ago in May 2025, with officers tracking a group trafficking fentanyl between the Greater Toronto Area and Calgary, Alta.

Police in Ontario worked with the Calgary Police Service and RCMP in the joint-forces investigation, and say a property in Brampton was raided on Feb. 10.

That’s where officers found 18 kilograms of suspected fentanyl, the OPP says. The bust was worth around $2.3 million.

OPP Chief Sup. Mike Stoddarmeans said the seizure “prevented a significant threat to public safety.”

One suspect was arrested in Brampton, while two others were taken into custody in Winnipeg and Calgary, the OPP says.

Three people including a man from Brampton have been charged, and police say a fourth suspect from Calgary is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

The OPP says Navjot Singh, 20, of Brampton, Attarvir Singh, 23, and Balwinder Singh, 21, both of Calgary, have been charged with trafficking-related offences.

Manpreet Singh, 21, of Calgary, is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant on charges of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence – trafficking firearms, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence – trafficking fentanyl, and three counts each of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, and trafficking – fentanyl.

Anyone with any information about Manpreet’s whereabouts or the possession, manufacturing or trafficking of illegal drugs or firearms is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
