Massive drug seizure made by Frontline Police in Prince George

The Prince George RCMP executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant on a residence on the 1300-block of Eaglet Crescent.

This occurred a week ago on Monday, May 19th.

“Police officers seized a large quantity of drugs from inside the residence, as well as Canadian and American currency, multiple cartons of contraband cigarettes and some weapons, said Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Items seized from the residence included:

  • 50 cartons of contraband cigarettes
  • Approximately 500 grams of suspected Methamphetamine
  • Approximately 500 grams of suspected Cocaine
  • Over 40 grams of suspected Fentanyl
  • More than 20 grams of suspected Ketamine
  • Approximately 20 grams of suspected Psilocybin
  • Over 100 grams of suspected pharmaceuticals
  • Over $2700 Canadian currency
  • Just over $300 American currency

According to Cooper, one man, who is known to police, was arrested at the time of the search warrant execution; he was released later that day, as any potential charges related to the drugs seized are pending further laboratory analysis and are subject to approval by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

The investigation continues.
