Burnaby RCMP announced a fentanyl ‘super lab’ bust at a Langley farm on November 27, 2024. Cops use the term ‘super lab’ to describe large-scale, commercial drug operations.

It was another one down for all the usual suspects; the KTF Sandhers, Sinaloa Cartel, and Sami El-Helou. |
Cops executed 4 search warrants in the Lower Mainland October 16 and 17. Raids revealed a drug lab at a rural property in Langley capable of producing 7 kg of fentanyl weekly. Cops seized fentanyl, hundreds of kilograms of precursor chemicals and two vehicles.
The most common synthesis route for fentanyl uses precursor chemicals: 4-anilino-N-phenethyl-4-piperidine (ANPP) and N-phenethyl-4-piperidone (NPP).
Two unnamed bums, a 31-year-old Burnaby man and a 43-year-old Surrey man, were arrested and face charges. Three other search warrants were executed at their residences. It took cops three days to dismantle the lab, destroy the equipment and dispose of the contaminated materials. The fentanyl lab was another one down for the Sandher/KTF/Sinaloa Cartel operation. This was the bust after the Falkland Lab was taken down. The North Vernon bust followed, then the 3 labs in the Lower Mainland this spring.
Cops fingered 4 criminal organizations in Western Canada as high-level fentanyl threats to the security of the country. Leader of the parade, until their labs got busted, were the KTF/Sinaola Cartel/Sandhers.
| Fentanyl was shipped south, some of it by helicopter. In the mix was Ed ‘Skeeter’ Russell and Hunter Helicopters. https://www.tiktok.com/@skeeterrussell?lang=en  |
Press correctly made the connection to the Wolfpack. Precursors to feed the Langley lab flowed through the HAMC’s Ricco the Pig Puncher and DeltaPort. There have been no further details revealed since the bust.
