Feds: Truckers hauled hundreds of kilos of cartel cocaine on US-Canada freight lanes

Federal prosecutors indicted a California restaurant owner, Kawal Preet Singh, for allegedly distributing methamphetamine, possessing it with intent to distribute, and carrying firearms during drug trafficking. The charges stem from a larger investigation involving long-haul truckers.
Agents executed search warrants at Singh's home and restaurant in Dinuba, California, on August 13, 2025, where they discovered approximately 13.8 kilograms of suspected methamphetamine, a Hyundai vehicle containing another 4.9 kilograms of suspected methamphetamine, two concealed handguns, and around $11,800 in cash. No commercial trucks or specific cargo theft victims were identified.
The investigation began in February 2025 when the FBI's Fresno Resident Agency received information about a trucker named "Camy," a Sikh Indian man involved in long-haul trucking and suspected of transporting narcotics with other Sikh Indian drivers. Agents later found evidence linking Singh to this network, but they did not explicitly accuse him of personally hauling cocaine aboard commercial vehicles.
