CHILLIWACK/ABBOTSFORD/LANGLEY – Three people have been arrested for their alleged role in an extensive drug trafficking network spanning Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley that resulted in the seizure of drugs, firearms, Canadian currency and vehicles.

RCMP spokesperson Corporal Kiener says the Chilliwack RCMP Priority Target Team initiated an investigation in April 2026 surrounding a network of individuals involved in trafficking illicit drugs in Chilliwack. Detectives gradually determined these individuals were also connected to drug trafficking activities in Abbotsford and Langley. 

The multi-jurisdictional investigation was led by Chilliwack RCMP PTT, with assistance from the Abbotsford Police Department Crime Reduction Unit, Langley RCMP, and the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team (IERT).

On June 29, 2026, police arrested three individuals in connection with the investigation and executed search warrants at a residence on Glenmore Road in Abbotsford, a storage locker in Abbotsford and a home on 202A Street in Langley.

Due to the search, police confiscated the following for evidence:

  • Approximately 600 grams of suspected methamphetamine;
  • Approximately 4.5 kilograms of suspected cocaine;
  • Approximately 3.5 kilograms of suspected fentanyl;
  • Approximately 1.1 kilograms of additional suspected controlled substances;
  • Two firearms;
  • Two vehicles; and
  • Approximately $45,000 in Canadian currency.

On Thursday, July 2, 2026, Tyler Shawn Missen of Langley was charged in connection to this investigation with the following offences:

  • Possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking – Section 5.2 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act;
  • Possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking – Section 5.2 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act;
  • Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking – Section 5.2 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act;
  • Unauthorized possession of a firearm (two counts) – Section 91 of the Criminal Code of Canada; and
  • Possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order – Section 117.01 of the Criminal Code of Canada .

The names of the other two individuals who were arrested were not released by police.

“Drug traffickers do not respect jurisdictional boundaries when distributing toxic drugs in our communities. This investigation required significant collaboration among multiple policing agencies and demonstrates the value of inter-agency cooperation in addressing organized drug trafficking.” Says Cpl. Stephan Mendela of the Chilliwack RCMP, “Through a shared commitment to proactive enforcement and crime reduction, investigators were able to disrupt a network suspected of distributing harmful substances throughout Chilliwack, Abbotsford, and Langley.”

The Chilliwack RCMP is acknowledging the significant contributions of the Abbotsford Police Department, IERT, and the Langley RCMP throughout the investigation.

“Their support and collaboration were instrumental in advancing this investigation forward,” Cpl. Kiener said.
