Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa did not appear March 28, 2025 for his 5th bail hearing. He has been caged since he was busted in October.
The lab was a part of the Lyons/Sandher/Sinaloa Cartel operation.
The bust was announced October 25, 2024. Haul was 390kg of meth, 54kg of fentanyl, 35kg of cocaine and 15kg of MDMA. The Falkland drug lab was connected to the Sept, 2024 seizure of 30 tonnes of precursors in Enderby.
The B.C. director of civil forfeiture filed a claim against the property at 5011 Hoath Road in Falkland, as well as the various pieces of lab equipment on January 31, 2025. Named in the claim are property owner Michael Driehuyzen and Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. The claim notes that in 2015 and 2016 cops busted grow ops at the property. The Langley fentanyl lab bust and North Vernon lab bust were also Sandhers. More lab busts are likely.
The Falkland lab was visited by Sinaloa boss Edgar Watson, and KTF brass including Bir Singh Sandher, Gurjit Singh Jhajj and interim KTF boss Arsh Dalla before commissioning. Gurtaj Singh Sandher was at the lab.
Sami El-Helou handled payment for the purchase of precursors. Those came through the HAMC and the Pig Puncher at DeltaPort.

The entire KTF/Sinaloa Cartel operation is being shuttered. More labs are suspected. Cop information could only have come from informed insiders, associates of the executed Donny Lyons.
Michael Driehuyzen bought the 163-acre lab property on 5011 Hoath Road in Falkland in May 2007 for $655k. It was used for an illegal grow op for years. He now lives on a chicken farm on Downes Road in Abbotsford owned by a Kamloops poultry company. Driehuyzen claims full ignorance. The Sandhers leased the ground from Driehuyzen. Sandher lawyer Bert Tonsoo (rtonsoo@bensonlawllp.com) drafted the lease agreement. The string of Sandher/KTF/Sinaloa lab busts now stands at 3 labs plus the storage facility in Enderby.
RCMP raided a property in Enderby in Sept 2024 and seized over 30,000 kg of precursor chemicals. The 2.6-hectare property was purchased in May 2023 by 2735152 Ontario for $1m. It's Ottawa address is a Mexican restaurant. Workers there claim ignorance of the company or owner Osman Ghazie. The Sandhers were in partnership in the synthetic drug business with Donnie Lyons.
Prabtaj Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher are prime suspects in the murder of Donnie Lyons on June 15, 2024. The hit was ordered by Edgar Watson with Sami El-Helou. Final approval came from Chapito Ivan Archivaldo Guzman.
89 guns were seized in raids in Surrey Oct. 25.
Included are .50 cal sniper rifles, 45 handguns, 21 AR-15-style rifles and submachine guns.
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa is facing multiple drug and weapons charges. Randhawa is a Jat clan found in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Palwinder Randhawa and Kabal Randhawa of Randhawa orchards in Vernon touted the Sandhers in the press on Sept 9. "The kindness shown by Sandher Fruit Packers has given me hope that we can get through this." The Randhawas sold 400 bins through BCTF, a trivial amount. (palwinder1980@hotmail.com)
Cleaning up the lab cost taxpayers over $500k. The setup was as sophisticated as any cops have ever seen. It mass produced fentanyl, meth and MDMA, most of which was destined for Australia and New Zealand. Several tons of unregulated chemicals used to produce P2P (phenyl-2-propanone) were seized. Seen for the first time in Western Canada, P2P is a Class A scheduled precursor essential to the manufacture of meth.
