A drug trafficking investigation led to one arrest and large amounts of drugs seized.
On May 23, Powell River RCMP were performing the investigation, with their general investigation section executing a search warrant at a residence on Burnaby Street.
During the search, officers arrested one person and seized large amounts of fentanyl, crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and Canadian money.
Detachment commander Staff Sergeant Lee Dyson says by executing the warrant, they’re sending a message that drug trafficking in Powell River won’t be tolerated and will be stopped.
Officers are still investigating the incident.
