A trio of major drugs busts has resulted in the arrest of four individuals who are suspected of supplying cocaine at the kilogram level in Chilliwack and Prince George.
The three search warrants were carried out on June 11th; cocaine, heroin, cash, firearms, body armour and vehicles were seized. Two of the arrested persons were from Prince George.
The warrants stemmed from an ongoing investigation by the Prince George Federal and Serious Organized Crime Unit (FSOC) into drug trafficking in the Prince George area. During the investigation, police gathered evidence which led them to expand their investigation beyond the Prince George area and into the Lower Mainland.
“This 14-month investigation highlights the fact that those associated to the drug trade conduct their business across multiple jurisdictions,” says Cpl. Dave Tyreman, North District Media Relations Officer. “We are confident that our latest enforcement action, with support from our law enforcement partners in Chilliwack and Richmond, will seriously hinder these individuals’ drug trafficking network.”
The investigative team is preparing an “extensive report” for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. Once charges have been approved by the crown, additional details will be released.
All four arrested individuals have since been released from custody.
