Canadian police have arrested several Indian nationals, including a truck driver, after seizing 1.7 tonnes of narcotics with an estimated street value of $139 million during a major anti-drug operation.

According to reports, the crackdown was carried out under an operation known as Project B, targeting an alleged drug trafficking network operating in Canada.

Authorities said multiple suspects of Indian origin were taken into custody as part of the operation. The investigation is focused on dismantling the network responsible for transporting and distributing large quantities of illegal drugs.

Canadian officials have not released further details about the identities of those arrested or the specific charges they may face.

The arrests come amid growing international efforts to combat transnational organized crime and narcotics trafficking. Authorities in several countries have recently intensified operations targeting criminal groups involved in the global drug trade.

The investigation remains ongoing, and Canadian police are expected to provide additional details as the case progresses.
