PG RCMP seize guns, drugs, and stolen goods following search warrants

The Prince George RCMP executed a pair of Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants at two different locations within the city.

Police say they were at residences on the 2600-block of Quince Street and the 1600-block of Eighth Avenue on Wednesday and Thursday.

The North District Emergency Response Team assisted due to the high-risk nature of these investigations, and potential for violence from those believed to be living at the locations.

“We did arrest four people from the two homes.” said Corporal Jennifer Cooper.

“Three were released without process after the search of the residence was complete; the fourth was arrested on outstanding warrants and held for court, and all four of those people are known to police.”

Various items were seized including:

  • Over 35 grams of suspected cocaine
  • Suspected hydromorphone pills
  • Two 3D-printed firearms
  • Multiple standard firearms
  • Stolen motorbike
  • Hard body armour
  • One inert military ordnance
  • Various ammunition and other weapons
  • Over $500 in cash

Cooper noted that this is the second time in less than a year they’ve been to the residence on Quince Street, for a similar investigation.
