Michigan border stop busts driver with 20 kilos of poppy pods, feds say

Homeland Security investigators say a Canadian truck driver, using a seemingly simple handoff routine at a St. Clair County gas station, was caught moving large boxes of suspected dried opium poppy pods across the border.

After his arrest, Vaibhav Saxena, 40, a native of India and citizen of Canada, allegedly told investigators that he “knew this day would come.”

On June 3, federal prosecutors charged Saxena with smuggling goods from the United States -- a 10-year felony.

The feds said in January 2026, investigators learned about possible smuggling activity at a Mobil gas station on Wadhams Road in St. Clair, Michigan. After months of surveillance, agents said they followed him to the Blue Water Bridge port of entry. "



What a sad sack.
