CHILLIWACK – Federal law enforcement is saying next to nothing about a search warrant that was carried out in Chilliwack Wednesday morning.

Fraser Valley Today received information from a Chilliwack resident Wednesday morning (Sept. 16) that Canada Border Services Agency officers were present at the intersection of Viola Street and Alma Avenue, located just off Vedder Road.

A resident reported that the road had been blocked with an unmarked car, and another law enforcement vehicle with flashing lights had been parked in front of a home on Viola Street. A tactical team appears to have been present likewise.

Fraser Valley Today subsequently contacted Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener, who referred comment to CBSA and said she was unaware of anything happening at the location Wednesday morning.

“All I can confirm is that another law enforcement agency was in Chilliwack investigating today. I would suggest reaching out to CBSA as I am unaware and cannot speak to what they were doing,” Cpl. Kiener said.

A CBSA spokesperson confirmed police from the agency were present in Chilliwack.

“We can confirm that the Canada Border Services Agency executed a search warrant in Chilliwack with the assistance of our law enforcement partners,” said Karine Martel, spokesperson/porte-parole for CBSA (Agence des services frontaliers du Canada). “As the incident is under investigation, no further information can be provided at this time. There is no danger to the public. Thank you.”

No further details were released by either the RCMP or CBSA.
