A multi-year investigation by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit - B.C. has resulted in five arrests and the seizure of guns, cash, valuables and large quantities of drugs in Prince George.
Police arrested of four men and one woman, all of whom were released without being charged, a CFSEU statement said. Police seized 29 guns, ammunition, 1.7 kilograms of cocaine, more than 3,000 pills of various types, MDMA, LSD, more than 70 kg of cannabis resin, 958 cannabis plants, $40,000 in cash, three trucks, a ring worth more than $100,000 and a money counter in the searches.
“Beginning in 2019, CFSEU-BC’s North District investigative team began and led an investigation into a group of individuals based in Prince George suspected of involvement in cocaine trafficking happening in the area,” a statement released by the CFSEU said. “The investigation, which uncovered links between the suspects and full-patch Hells Angels Members, resulted in the execution of seven search warrants in February 2021.”
While charges have not yet been laid by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, the suspects could face a wide variety of drug, firearm and organized-crime related charges, the statement said.
