PG RCMP make arrest during drug trafficking investigation in the Hart

A routine search warrant at a local residence led to the seizure of several drugs.

On Wednesday, May 17th, the Prince George RCMP’s Street Crew Unit entered a home along the 6000 block of Rita Place.

During the search, suspected fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine, as well as drug trafficking paraphernalia and cash, were located and seized.

“Police have identified the fentanyl seized as extremely potent and it is believed to be responsible for several drug overdose deaths in Prince George in the last month,” stated Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

One person was arrested and subsequently released back to the community pending charge approval by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

“The seizure of these drugs has saved lives and resulted in a safer community,” said Cpl. Scott Cundy of Prince George RCMP’s Street Crew Unit.

“We would like to remind the public that investigators are targeting enforcement action against those involved in the illicit drug trade and we encourage the public to contact police or Crime Stoppers with any information.”
