A drug investigation on Vancouver Island has lead to the seizure of $26,000 in cash, drugs, and two vehicles.

On December 10th, 2021, the Campbell River RCMP Street Crime Unit arrested Brandon Viskovich after a two-month long drug trafficking investigation.

RCMP officers conducted search warrants on two properties associated to Viskovich.

During the investigation following the search warrant, police located and seized 22.85 grams of cocaine, 347 grams of psilocybin and about one pound of Cannabis Marihuana.

In addition, RCMP also seized over $26,000 in cash and two vehicles used by the suspect in relation to the drug trafficking.

RCMP said they also seized an extensive list that is believed to be Viskovich’s drug client list.

Viskovich has been charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of marijuana for the purpose of distributing, and unauthorized possession of a prohibited device.

“Due to the nature of drug investigations,” said Const. Maury Tyre of Campbell River RCMP, the charge approval process can be quite lengthy after someone is arrested.”

“When charges for trafficking are approved we are committed to let the public know of the work have undertaken as a detachment.”
