OPP officials allege: Police say more than $2.3 million worth of suspected fentanyl has been seized and multiple people have been charged following an interprovincial drug trafficking investigation spanning Ontario and Alberta.
The Ontario Provincial Police says its Border Drug Interdiction Task Force launched Project OLLIE in May 2025, targeting a network allegedly trafficking fentanyl between the Greater Toronto Area and Calgary. The investigation, which involved multiple agencies including the Calgary Police Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, led to a series of arrests and the seizure of a large quantity of drugs.
Officers executed a search warrant Feb. 10, 2026, at a residence in Brampton, where they seized 18 kilograms of suspected fentanyl — equivalent to approximately 180,000 potentially lethal doses — along with three cell phones.
Police say several individuals from Ontario and Alberta have been charged with offences under the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, while another remains wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
“This investigation demonstrates the unwavering commitment of our officers and our policing partners across Canada to dismantle interprovincial drug trafficking networks,” said OPP Chief Supt. Mike Stoddart of the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau. “Seizing 18 kilograms of suspected fentanyl, which is equivalent to 180,000 potentially lethal doses, means we have prevented a significant threat to public safety.”
He added that Project OLLIE highlights the effectiveness of intelligence-led joint operations. “Project OLLIE reflects the power of intelligence-led, joint-forces operations and we will continue to pursue those who profit from harm in the communities we serve. We are grateful for the collaboration of the Calgary Police Service, the RCMP and the Winnipeg Police Service.”
Officials say the investigation relied on coordination across jurisdictions to disrupt the alleged trafficking network.
“Drug trafficking networks that operate across Canada endanger communities nationwide and stopping them requires strong co-ordination across multiple policing jurisdictions,” said Supt. Jeff Bell of the Calgary Police Service’s criminal operations and intelligence division. “We were proud to support the OPP in this investigation, which resulted in a significant quantity of a deadly substance being taken off the street.”
Bell added that continued collaboration is key to public safety. “This type of collaboration remains essential to protecting public safety and reducing the harm caused by illicit drugs.”
Police are asking anyone with information about the investigation or the whereabouts of wanted individuals to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
