Police say a year-long investigation in the Fraser Valley has resulted in the dismantling of an alleged criminal operation involving illegal drugs.
Chilliwack RCMP say the probe resulted in the seizure of a large quantity of drugs believed to be cocaine, along with firearms, cash and several cellphones.
Police say that on Dec. 19 officers searched seven homes and executed three search warrants on vehicles in connection with the investigation. The probe was started by the Chilliwack crime-reduction unit drug sectionn in summer 2018 and was assisted by several other teams and units.
Cpl. Mike Rail, spokesman for the Upper Fraser Valley detachment, described it as a “very complex and technical investigation.”
A report by the police and evidence gathered will go to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada for assessment of charges.
