CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack RCMP announced Wednesday (Mar. 21) it has executed recent search warrants that have resulted in the seizure of guns, drugs, and other evidence of suspected drug trafficking.

On Tuesday, March 14, the Chilliwack RCMP Drug Section executed two search warrants as part of a complex drug trafficking investigation, according to a press release from RCMP Sgt. Krista Vrolyk. These warrants, pursuant to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, were executed at a residence located in the 9000 block of Garden Drive as well as a storage locker on Industrial Way in Chilliwack.

A search of these locations resulted in the seizure of two shotguns with ammunition, a loaded handgun, approximately 5 kilograms of packaged marijuana, approximately one kilogram of suspected fentanyl, bulk quantities of suspected methamphetamine as well as a large quantity of cash, numerous cell phones, score sheets, drug packaging materials and scales.

“Our Members continue to work diligently to take illegal drugs and firearms off the streets,” said Inspector Jeff Bowerman, Operations Support Officer for the UFVRD. “The seizure of approximately one kilogram of suspected fentanyl is substantial and is equivalent to approximately 10,000 single doses. This seizure will no doubt have an impact in disrupting local drug trafficking and organized crime networks within our community.”
