Abby PD seizes fentanyl, meth, coke and heroin following search warrants

ABBOTSFORD — The Drug Enforcement Unit of the Abbotsford Police Department announced Wednesday (Nov. 23) that it has disrupted the operations of a street-level narcotics ring in Abbotsford and Surrey that involved guns, including suppressors.

In July 2022, the DEU launched a drug trafficking investigation into the numerous Abbotsford overdose deaths connected to a known drug trafficking operation within city limits. DEU investigators were able to identify and target the suppliers and street-level dealers of this operation.

On November 10 DEU investigators, with the assistance of the AbbyPD Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), Patrol, Forensics Identification Service (FIS), the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) and the Integrated Emergency Response Team (IERT), executed two Controlled Drugs & Substances Act (CDSA) search warrants at two residences within Abbotsford and Surrey. Three men in their twenties were arrested and released pending further investigation.

During the search of the residences, 1.3 kilograms of combined fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine were seized with a street value of approximately $200,000. Additionally, three handguns, two of which contained suppressors, and $90,000 of cash were seized.
