Indian-origin trucker sent to prison for 10 years for transporting cocaine worth $5.4 million into Canada, says will regret it for the rest of life

Indian-origin truck driver Jasbir Singh who pleaded guilty to transporting cocaine from the US to Canada in 2023, has been sent to jail for 10 years. Bricks of cocaine were found inside his truck, lying open in plain sight and not even concealed. On a secondary inspection of his truck at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor-Detroit, officers found 40 bricks, each weighing one kilogram. Another 20 bricks of cocaine were hidden in a box.

Singh told the court that he was a courier and not a mastermind of the operation. But agreeing to deliver the multimillion dollar shipment of cocaine from US to Canada was a decision that he will regret for the rest of his life as he is now going to miss important years of his daughter's life.
