Police are on the hunt for a Surrey truck driver who they say fled to India after being found guilty of smuggling 80 kilograms of cocaine into Canada.
Raj Kumar Mehmi, 60, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for importing and possessing cocaine, with the purpose of trafficking, after crossing into B.C. at the Pacific Highway port of entry.
Mehmi was found guilty in September 2022, but is still at large.
