Truck Drivers Involved in Ryan Wedding’s Alleged Drug Operation

Iqbal Singh Virk and Ranjit Singh Rowal, co-owners of an Ontario-based truck, were arrested at the U.S. border in August 2024 after 115 bricks of cocaine, valued at nearly $4 million, were found hidden in their trailer. This led to their involvement in a larger investigation into a major narcotics cartel allegedly run by Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder.

The operation involved encrypted communications and legitimate cargo to disguise illicit activities.
