HOPE — Hope RCMP seized drugs, firearms, and stolen property in a two-day proactive enforcement operation in the 62000 block of the Trans Canada Highway.
On November 25, officers conducting enforcement efforts discovered quantities of illicit drugs, including fentanyl and methamphetamines, as well as both real and imitation firearms. Police also recovered a stolen F550 work truck, along with a large quantity of stolen tools and other property.
The following day, on November 26, officers arrested a 38-year-old man in the same area on outstanding warrants.
“This area has seen an uptick in criminal activities as of late and as a result has drawn the interest of the Hope RCMP,” said Staff Sgt. Mike Sargent. “Proactive enforcement such as this goes a long way in disrupting the illegal activities of these individuals and in this case, it has resulted in the seizure of illicit drugs that were destined to be sold in our community.”
