29 kg of Meth Seized at Vancouver Airport | CBSA & RCMP Bust Smuggling Attempt
It was just another busy day at Vancouver International Airport—until Canadian border officers opened two seemingly innocent suitcases.
Inside: gift-wrapped packages, neatly arranged—the kind you might expect to see during the holiday season. But these were no ordinary gifts. Hidden within was a dangerous cargo: 29 kg of methamphetamine.
That’s enough for an estimated 150,000 individual doses.
The seizure happened on July 18th, 2025, when officers from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) stopped a traveler bound for Hong Kong.
Using their training, technology, and a keen eye for detail, CBSA officers uncovered the narcotics—arresting the passenger on the spot.
That passenger was later identified as 25-year-old Xiu Deng, a citizen of China. Deng has now been charged under Canada’s Controlled Drugs and Substances Act with:
Possession for the purpose of trafficking, and
Possession for the purpose of exporting a controlled substance.
Deng remains in custody, awaiting the next court appearance scheduled for August 6th, 2025.
The investigation is ongoing, with the RCMP’s Border Enforcement Officers and Federal Policing Pacific Region taking over the case. Officials say this bust is a textbook example of how transnational organized crime groups attempt to move large quantities of drugs across borders—often hidden in creative ways to avoid detection.
The methamphetamine was disguised to appear harmless. But the damage it could cause is anything but.
Methamphetamine—often referred to as meth or crystal meth—is an extremely addictive and dangerous stimulant. It can cause severe health issues, including heart problems, brain damage, violent behavior, and in many cases, death.
According to Canadian public health data, meth-related overdoses have been rising sharply in recent years, particularly in Western Canada.
Criminal networks profit heavily from its distribution—but the cost to communities is devastating.
The Honorable Gary Anandasangaree, Canada’s Minister of Public Safety, praised the officers’ actions, stating that every seizure like this disrupts organized crime and helps keep Canadians safe.
CBSA officials echoed the sentiment, highlighting the partnership with the RCMP as a key factor in intercepting illegal shipments before they can harm communities—here or abroad.
The case also serves as a reminder: under Canada’s Customs Act, smuggling or attempting to smuggle prohibited goods out of the country is a criminal offense that can lead to arrest, prosecution, and serious prison time.
From the quiet halls of an airport luggage screening area to the complex web of global drug trafficking, one thing is certain:
