In September 2023, GST began an investigation into a 40-year-old male suspect who was believed to be involved in drug trafficking. The investigation led to a traffic stop with the suspect on Friday, October 27, 2023, where 40.5 kg of cocaine was located in his vehicle and the suspect was subsequently arrested. The approximate street value of the cocaine is $1,800,000.
“This is the single biggest cocaine seizure in EPS’ history,” says Staff Sergeant Eric Stewart of the EPS Guns and Gang Section. “This will undoubtedly make a dent in this suspect’s illicit drug network as we work to stop those that are preying on our vulnerable community members.”
Randhir Singh Gill, 40, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. Gill is expected to appear in court on Nov. 8, 2023.
