CHILLIWACK — Mounties in Chilliwack and their law enforcement partners from the region have uncovered and dismantled what police are calling a “significant drug trafficking” network in the Fraser Valley.

According to a statement from the Upper Fraser Valley media relations unit Tuesday, Chilliwack RCMP teamed up with Indigenous Policing Services, AbbyPD and the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team (IERT) to coordinate four search warrants across multiple locations in the Fraser Valley on Tuesday, January 21.

Police say search warrants were carried out at two residences in Abbotsford, one in Chilliwack, and one in Agassiz. As a result of the investigation, police seized a substantial quantity of illicit substances, vehicles and, cash, including:

  • 1,249 grams of fentanyl;
  • 107 grams of cocaine;
  • 365 ml of liquid cocaine;
  • 3 vehicles; and
  • $51,441.55 cash.

Four individuals were arrested by police and have since been released pending further investigation. Their names were not released.

“This successful operation underscores the critical role of intelligence-led policing and inter-agency collaboration in keeping our communities safe,” said Inspector Bowerman, Operations Support Officer for the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment. “The seizures effectively removed 1,249 grams of fentanyl from circulation, which has eliminated 12,490 potentially lethal doses from the streets.”

The Chilliwack RCMP says it will continue to combat organized crime and drug trafficking. If you have information about any crime and wish to report it, you are asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611, or report anonymously by calling BC Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
