Chetwynd RCMP say a drug investigation has resulted in the significant seizure of suspected cocaine, psilocybin, cash and a vehicle following the execution of two search warrants earlier this month.
Police say the investigation culminated in search warrants being carried out at residences in the 5100-block of 42 Street Northeast and the 4700-block of Wabi Crescent.
During the searches, five adults were taken into custody. RCMP say four were later determined to be uninvolved in the investigation.
The fifth individual was released without process while investigators await results from the National Laboratory and potential charge approval from the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
Investigators seized approximately $7,000 in cash, more than 10 grams of suspected cocaine, more than 15 grams of suspected psilocybin, assorted prescription drugs, drug trafficking paraphernalia and a vehicle.
“This was excellent work undertaken by our constables. Their initiative and determination directly contribute to public safety by disrupting the drug trade and the harm it brings to our community,” said Corporal Bayden Austring, Operations Support Officer with the Chetwynd RCMP.
RCMP say the investigation remains ongoing.
