A month-long drug trafficking investigation between multiple police agencies has resulted in several arrests and the seizure of vehicles, cash and cocaine.
A search warrant was executed at a Victoria residence on February 18th by West Shore RCMP in a joint force operation with VicPD and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team.
Subsequently, RCMP said they were able to identify the drug supplier resulting in two additional arrests and another search warrant was executed at another Victoria residence.
Police said the search warrants resulted in the seizure of approximately 78 grams of cocaine, $7,500 in cash and three vehicles.
RCMP are recommending the suspects be charged with trafficking a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
“Our West Shore RCMP Drug and Organized Crime Unit is committed to interrupting organized crime and drug related activities in hopes to minimize social and economic harm,” said Sgt Ryan Walsh.
“We are fortunate to have the ability to conduct joint force operations with our neighbouring police forces which often yields successful results like this.”
