A bag containing a significant amount of illicit drugs was recently found on a beach in Powell River.
On May 26, around 10:00 a.m., RCMP were called to a sailboat which was beached in front of Waterfront Road on Tla’amin Nation, with what was believed to be a bag of illicit drugs on it.
The boat washed ashore the previous night, and members of Tla’amin Public Safety checked the vessel and discovered the bag.
It contained a large amount of suspected fentanyl and methamphetamine, but no information on the boat’s owner was inside.
Police seized the bag which they believe is worth over $7,000 and said they will be sent for destruction.
There is no update available on whether arrests have been made in connection with the discovery.
