The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia says two Vancouver men are facing multiple drug trafficking charges after a months-long investigation that disrupted an organized network accused of distributing fentanyl and other illicit substances across the Lower Mainland.

The investigation began in February 2024 after CFSEU-BC’s Anti-Trafficking Task Force identified a suspect believed to be supplying large amounts of fentanyl and other drugs through a coordinated network. On October 2, 2024, police executed search warrants at two homes in the region, seizing more than three kilograms of fentanyl, along with smaller quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine, cash, and packaging materials.

Charge approval was granted on September 29, 2025, following an extensive review of the evidence. Thirty-one-year-old Ashnil Bobby Singh has been charged with multiple counts related to trafficking fentanyl, MDMA, cocaine, and methamphetamine. Lenny Mauricio Umanzor, also 31, faces two charges for possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl and cocaine.

Singh was arrested in Richmond on October 9 and released under conditions, while Umanzor surrendered to police six days later and was released pending his next court appearance.

CFSEU-BC spokesperson Cpl. Sarbjit K. Sangha said the case demonstrates the ongoing efforts of police to protect communities from the harm caused by fentanyl and other synthetic drugs. She added that collaboration between police agencies remains essential in addressing networks linked to overdose deaths and organized crime across British Columbia.
