On March 24, 2026, officers with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET) conducted a proactive traffic stop in Surrey, resulting in a significant drug seizure.

The second individual was issued violation tickets for speeding and received a seven-month driving prohibition.
“This seizure represents a significant financial blow to organized crime,” said Sgt. Sarbjit K. Sangha, CFSEU-BC. “By intercepting bulk quantities of drugs at the distribution level, UGET officers are directly disrupting supply chains and cutting into the profits that fuel gang activity in our communities.”
This investigation remains ongoing, and charges are expected to be recommended.
CFSEU-BC remains committed to targeting organized crime and disrupting the distribution of dangerous drugs that pose a significant risk to public safety.
