CBSA seizes 127kgs of suspected cocaine at Ambassador Bridge; Mississauga men arrested

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has seized 127 kilograms of suspected cocaine at the Ambassador Bridge Border Crossing between Windsor and Detroit. Two men from Mississauga have been arrested in connection with the seizure.

According to the CBSA, on September 11, 2026, a commercial truck entering Canada from the United States was stopped for further examination. Officers searched the truck’s trailer with the assistance of a detector dog and discovered 127 kilograms of suspected cocaine.

The two accused have been identified as 61-year-old Vasyl Galychyn and 41-year-old Anton Chernyshov, both of Mississauga.

Both men, along with the seized suspected narcotics, were subsequently turned over to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

The RCMP has charged both men with unlawfully importing cocaine into Canada and possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

The case is currently before the courts in Windsor.
