B.C. police seize illicit drugs in Metro Vancouver after multi-month investigation

An extensive, multi-month investigation into a drug-trafficking network in British Columbia has resulted in a significant seizure of illicit substances in Metro Vancouver. Organized crime investigators launched the operation last October, targeting a group suspected of supplying drugs across Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey, and Richmond.

On June 2, investigators executed four search warrants in Coquitlam and Delta. This action led to the confiscation of substantial quantities of drugs, including two kilograms each of fentanyl and crack cocaine, and 20 kilograms of cannabis. Additionally, 20 kilograms of caffeine, believed to be used as a cutting agent, and $21,000 in cash were seized.

Several individuals were arrested during the searches. However, they have since been released pending further investigation, with charges expected to be laid in the case. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities anticipate further developments.
