Guns, cannabis, and more than half a million dollars in cash were all seized by the Prince George RCMP under the newly implemented Cannabis Act.
According to police, two people were arrested and a large amount of cannabis seized on Saturday, March 23rd by the RCMP’s Street Crew Unit after a Search Warrant was executed for a residence
in the city.
The search of the property yielded more than 55 kilograms (121 pounds) of dried cannabis, a significant amount of other forms of cannabis products, several firearms, ammunition and more than $550,000.
The two arrested, a woman and a man, were released without charge pending further investigation.
Police estimate the total value of the cash and cannabis to be approximately $1,000,000.
“This is a substantial seizure resulting from the investigation of persons previously not known to police,” said Insp. Shaun Wright, Operations Officer for the Prince George RCMP. Â
“Our officers will continue to target those persons that do not abide by Canadian law, including the Cannabis Act.”
