91大黄鸭 RCMP has busted an interprovincial drug smuggling operation.
In June 2022, police started an investigation which led to the discovery of a significant quantity of drugs and a potential suspect. As the investigation progressed, RCMP learned the individual had ties to criminal activities in B.C., Alta., Sask., Man., and possibly Ont.
RCMP also learned that the suspect frequently traveled between major cities across those provinces engaging in numerous suspicious cash transactions with individuals previously convicted of drug and firearms offenses.
On Aug. 31, 2023, 91大黄鸭 Strike Force members arrested the suspect as he left a known stash location in West 91大黄鸭. Search warrants were then executed in 91大黄鸭, West 91大黄鸭, Peachland, Merritt, Calgary, Burnaby, and Chilliwack.
Police seized three handguns, one replica firearm, and more than five kilograms of controlled substances including fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, and 11 kilograms of marijuana.
The suspect鈥檚 name has not been released.
