Vancouver Police seized approximately $200,000 cash and millions of dollars’ worth of illicit drugs from an apartment in downtown Vancouver on Saturday.
Police, along with a B.C. Ambulance Service crew, were called to an apartment in Telus Garden highrise at 777 Richards Street early Saturday morning to check on the well-being of the occupants.
Inside the apartment, police say they discovered two men in medical distressed and a spotted large quantity of drugs and cash lying in plain view.
“Our officers immediately obtained a warrant to search the residence,” said VPD Sgt. Aaron Roed. “Officers located and seized multiple bricks believed to be cocaine, cash, approximately three gallons of an unknown liquid, and several ounces of a substance believed to be MDMA. The estimated street value of the drugs is several million dollars.”
The men were transported to hospital.
Roed said the investigation in ongoing and drug charges will be recommended if lab tests confirm the substances are illegal.
