The investigation began on Sept. 11, just before 12:30 p.m., after an investigator with Homeland Security saw two semi-truck drivers moving items between trailers at a gas station near the Macomb and St. Clair county border.
One truck was followed to the Blue Water Bridge, where Customs and Border Protection officers stopped it. A police canine reportedly alerted officers to bags filled with methamphetamine in the trailer.
Authorities said 425 kilograms -- nearly 940 pounds -- of meth was seized. The driver, Syed Shah, was taken into custody and lodged at the St. Clair County Jail.
The second truck driver, Navjot Singh, was pulled over in Genesee County and also taken to the St. Clair County Jail.
Shah entered a plea agreement with federal prosecutors on Nov. 4, 2025, where he will plead guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
He faces up to 10 years in prison with five years of supervised release.
