Arrests were made and fentanyl prevented from getting to the street, thanks to Prince George RCMP.
The bust was part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking in the city. The police took action starting with a male and female, both adults, getting arrested on Thursday by members of the city's Street Crew Unit. The two were taken into custody near the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Dominion Street.
It was the first but not the only part of the police intervention plan.
"Following the arrests, officers executed Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants at residences located on the 5900 block of Montgomery Crescent and 4600 block of Freimuller Avenue in Prince George," said Prince George RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Craig Douglass. "Officers seized what they believe to be fentanyl and cocaine from the residences, along with drug trafficking paraphernalia."
Three more people were arrested in the process.
No charges were laid at the time, but the investigation is still underway and prosecution action will be applied to the appropriate suspects once more information is gathered.
Douglass urged the public to help police start new investigations like this one. He said if anyone had "any information about illegal drug trafficking in the Prince George area," please contact the Prince George RCMP at (250)561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1(800)222-8477 or online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
