The B.C. man arrested last week in the drug superlab raid that yielded almost half a tonne of methamphetamine, fentanyl and cocaine pleaded guilty eight years ago to selling drugs out of his mother's car.

Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa was 23 years old in 2016 when he was arrested in Burnaby for dial-a-dope trafficking.

During sentencing in 2017, he told the judge he tried to leave the drug business but was threatened with death by his unnamed bosses.
