On June 22, 2026, Surrey police announced significant developments following a four-month investigation into drug trafficking activities known as "Project Phantom." The operation resulted in the arrest of 24-year-old Gurjot Singh and led to the deportation of two other individuals who were initially arrested but not charged.
Gurjot Singh was taken into custody on June 19 and is now facing one count of trafficking a controlled substance and five counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. He remains in police custody ahead of his court appearance scheduled for June 26, according to Staff Sergeant Lindsey Houghton from the Surrey Police Service (SPS).
The investigation began in February by SPS’s Prolific Offender Unit (POU) and culminated with a raid on May 21 at a residence in Surrey. During this operation, police seized an estimated $891,000 worth of illegal substances including 15.8 kilograms of opium, 468 grams of fentanyl, 1.5 kilograms of cannabis, 559 grams of cocaine, 148 grams of methamphetamine, and 35 grams of heroin.
Additionally, police recovered drug processing equipment such as scales, packaging materials, and $2,149 in Canadian currency from the scene. The two other individuals initially arrested were not charged with any offences but have since been removed from Canada by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
"The success of 'Project Phantom' underscores our commitment to dismantling organized drug trafficking networks," said Houghton. "These seizures and actions significantly reduce the availability of lethal narcotics in Surrey."
The SPS emphasized that these operations are part of their ongoing efforts to enhance public safety by targeting individuals involved in large-scale illegal activities within the community.
