Loaded firearms, hundreds of grams of suspected illicit drugs and thousands in cash was seized by Salmon Arm RCMP at a short-term rental property in Sorrento.
On March 20, Salmon Arm Mounties initiated an investigation into suspected drug trafficking in the Shuswap region.
Police were led to a Sorrento residence, where they arrested a 30-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man both of Prince George.
A search warrant was executed at the property later that evening.
As a result, police seized over 650 grams of suspected fentanyl, 100 grams of suspected meth, 16 grams of suspected cocaine and just over 30 grams of suspected heroin.
The warrant also yielded a loaded .22 calibre handgun, .22 calibre sawed off semi-automatic rifle, and a sawed-off double-barrelled shotgun.
Both suspects were later released and face potential drug and firearms-related charges pending further investigation.
The full findings of the investigation will be forwarded to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada for charge assessment.
