Chilliwack:  RCMP seized alleged drugs and firearms during the execution of a Controlled Drug and Substance Act (CDSA) search warrant.

 

The search stemmed from reports received by police of suspicious activity surrounding a house on Landing Drive. Evidence gathered by the RCMP Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) linked alleged sale of illegal drugs and a suspect to the address.

 

On September 10, 2018 CRU officers supported by the Priority Offender Suppression Team (POST) executed a CDSA search warrant at the residence.

 

A significant amount of drugs believed to be methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, cash, and alleged evidence associated to drug trafficking, and firearms were seized by police during the search.

 

Two people were taken into custody on warrants of arrest on an unrelated incident.

 

Police will be submitting all circumstances of the investigation in a report to the BC Prosecution Service for their assessment of CDSA and Criminal Code charges.

 

“RCMP remain committed to our effort to remove illegal drugs from the streets of our community,” says Corporal Mike Rail spokesperson for the UFVRD.

 

RCMP remind everyone who witnesses anything they believe to be suspicious in nature to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or, should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
