US Customs and Border Protection officers seized 133 pounds of cocaine from a commercial truck headed to Canada at the Blue Water Bridge near Port Huron, Michigan.
The seizure took place June 11 during an outbound inspection by CBP's Office of Field Operations. Officers selected a Canada-bound commercial vehicle for examination, and a search by officers and K9 units turned up 55 shrink-wrapped bricks of a white powdery substance inside two cardboard boxes. Testing confirmed the substance was cocaine.
CBP seized the cocaine along with the truck and trailer. The driver, identified by CBP as an Indian citizen, faces federal prosecution. The case remains under investigation by Homeland Security Investigations.
The seizure is the latest in a series of cocaine interceptions at the crossing. On February 19, 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency referred a US truck for secondary examination at the Blue Water Bridge and seized 111.4 kilograms of suspected cocaine from the trailer, leading to two arrests. In August 2024, CBP recovered 266 pounds of cocaine concealed behind a false wall in a trailer at the same port. In June 2023, officers found roughly 200 pounds of cocaine in an outbound shipment of goods there.
The volume continues across the region. CBSA reported that since January 1, 2025, its officers in the Southern Ontario region have seized 1,743 kilograms of cocaine arriving from the United States.
The Blue Water Bridge, connecting Point Edward, Ontario, to Port Huron, Michigan, is one of the busiest commercial truck crossings on the Canada-US border.
