A Vancouver man is facing charges after allegedly sending fentanyl across the border and into the U.S. In total, the suspect is facing seven charges, including two counts of unlawful export of fentanyl from Canada, one count of unlawful export of methamphetamine from Canada, and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl and methamphetamine.

The man, 32-year-old Jordan Tanner Dakota Treleaven, was arrested in Alberta, but according to a news release from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia, he remains in custody.

The investigation dates back to February 2025 when police began looking into a male suspect who was believed to be importing firearms into Canada.

During the investigation, police searched a property in Vancouver and found approximately 600 grams of fentanyl.

With the help of the Canada Border Services Agency, investigators identified four outgoing shipments of approximately 1,500 grams of fentanyl originating from Vancouver and bound for the U.S. The shipments were intercepted by United States Customs and Border Protection.

On Tuesday (May 20), Treleaven was charged in the investigation and arrested on Thursday in Alberta.

Police said the investigation into the illegal importing of firearms remains ongoing, adding that a separate suspect is believed to be involved.

Disrupting cross-border fentanyl trafficking is an ongoing effort, Manny Mann, chief officer of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, said.
