It is the largest seizure of narcotics by the CBSA in Prairie history.
According to Ken MacGregor, CBSA chief of operations, the seizure took place on Jan. 14 at the Boissevain port of entry following the search of a transport truck heading to Winnipeg.
The seized drugs are valued at approximately $50,780,000, the CBSA said.
The driver has been charged with importing methamphetamine and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He will appear in Manitoba court in February.
