Indo-Canadian man Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa pleaded guilty to smuggling over 300kg of methamphetamine to the Philippines in 2024, according to the Vancouver Sun. Randhawa, who was already charged with running a fentanyl and methamphetamine superlab in British Columbia, admitted to attempting to export 310 kilograms of the drug from September 23 to October 23, 2024.

The allegations came to light during the investigation of the superlab, which was dismantled by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on October 31, 2024. The alleged superlab was linked to the Wolfpack alliance, a Canadian gang. In total, the RCMP seized 54kg of fentanyl, 390kg of methamphetamine, 35kg of cocaine, 15kg of MDMA, and 6kg of cannabis, along with 89 firearms.

Randhawa was identified as the main suspect and arrested by Federal Policing investigators, facing six drug and firearms-related charges.
