RCMP say they have busted 'the largest, most sophisticated drug superlab in Canada'

RCMP in B.C. say they have taken down "the largest, most sophisticated drug superlab in Canada."

The police force says federal investigators focused on combating illicit drug production in Canada busted the lab, which is believed to be run by a "transnational organized crime group... involved in the mass-production, and distribution of fentanyl and methamphetamine across Canada, and internationally."

According to police, the amount of fentanyl and other materials seized would have amounted to more than 95,500,000 potentially lethal doses and worth an estimated $485 million in profit.

The "superlab" was located in the community of Falkland, B.C., an unincorporated community about 50 kilometetres east of Kamloops.

"To put into context, [the fentanyl seized] could have taken the life of every Canadian citizen twice over."
