The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) says a 36-year-old Mississauga man has been charged by RCMP after border officers allegedly intercepted several packages of synthetic opioids from China.

The charges follow a CBSA announcement of a partnership between border patrol and RCMP to stop fentanyl and other synthetic narcotics from crossing the border.
