Charges are pending against one man following a substantial drug investigation by New Westminster police.
In March, RCMP alerted local police of drug activity with a possible connection to the Royal City. The New Westminster Police Department’s street crime unit was tasked with the investigation and after a short while, discovered evidence of drug trafficking, noted a press release from police.
Through this investigation, a “significant” amount of illegal drugs was seized, and on June 14, several search warrants were executed around the Lower Mainland. The searches turned up an undisclosed amount of cash and additional drugs.
A male suspect was also arrested but released until charges are officially laid.
The Record requested further information on the case, but the New Westminster Police Department has yet to respond. The police department did not provide any more information on the investigation.
