Customs discovered over 713-kilograms of the drug hidden in maple syrup bottles from Canada in January 2023.

Wenfu Zhang received a 10 year 10 month sentence for one charge of importing methamphetamine.
Tayzel Tini and Liam Prasad each received seven years and two months on one possession for supply charge.
