A Brampton man known as “King” was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in a Los Angeles prison after pleading guilty this year to orchestrating the transportation of massive amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine from the United States into Canada using long‑haul truckers.
Guramrit Sidhu, 63, ran a cross‑border network of truck drivers who made repeated trips through the Detroit–Windsor Tunnel, the Buffalo-Lake Erie Peace Bridge and the Blue Water Bridge, linking Port Huron, Mich., and Point Edward, Ont. The drugs originated in Mexico and were transferred to Los Angeles for distribution, where Canadians would co-ordinate the north-bound deliveries.
