One man was arrested after police seized a large number of illegal drugs and weapons from a temporary multi-unit residential facility in downtown Victoria.
On Monday, Victoria Police Department says officers arrested the man in the lobby of a multi-unit temporary housing facility in the 3000-block of Blanshard Street. According to police, he was in possession of drugs — including cocaine and methamphetamine — for the purpose of trafficking.
