Prince George RCMP arrested 8 people during a drug trafficking investigation last week.
At about 10:30 pm on Friday, the Street Crew Unit stopped a vehicle on 15th Avenue near Nicholson Street. Two men were arrested and a quantity of cocaine was seized.
As a result of this traffic stop, the Unit executed a search warrant on a residence on Moffat Street early on Saturday morning. Police arrested two men and four women and seized significant quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and prescription pills, as well as drug trafficking paraphernalia and cash.
A 40 year old man and a 32 year old woman have been remanded in custody and will likely appear in Provincial Court later today.
