Two people who appeared to be actively dealing drugs outside a local pharmacy were stopped by RCMP on Tuesday, Feb. 11.
“As part on an ongoing investigation, our police officers were actively engaged in watching for any type of drug trafficking-related activity outside of local pharmacies when they observed the male and female complete what appeared to be hand-to-hand transactions," stated Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer with the Prince George RCMP. "The pair was stopped and a search incidental to their arrest revealed an assortment of suspected pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs."
Among the items seized were 10 grams of suspected fentanyl, 10 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 10 grams of suspected cocaine, two bottles of suspected methadone, 50 bags of suspected pharmaceuticals (more than 700 individual pills), 11 packages of illegal cigarettes and weapons.
The two suspects were released pending the full results of the investigation, which is ongoing.
