Police in Fort St. John say seven people have been arrested.
It follows a drug trafficking investigation that led to a major seizure earlier this week.
The RCMP’s Street Enforcement Team executed a search warrant on May 21 at a residence in the 9400 block of 105 Avenue.
Inside the residence, police say they seized approximately one kilogram of cocaine, along with smaller quantities of fentanyl, methamphetamine, MDMA (ecstasy) and LSD.
Investigators also located equipment believed to be used in the processing and packaging of drugs for street-level distribution.
In addition, officers seized three loaded handguns and about $8,000 in Canadian currency.
The seven individuals arrested were taken into custody and later released pending further investigation.
Mounties say the operation was part of ongoing efforts to target illicit drug trafficking and gang-related activity in the community.
RCMP add it reflects their continued focus on disrupting drug trafficking and removing illegal firearms from the community, and are encouraging the public to report suspicious activity.
