Charges are pending for a man and a woman, both from Prince George, after they were arrested in a suspected drug-trafficking investigation.
The 59- and 30-year-old, respectively, were taken into custody by Salmon Arm RCMP after several drugs and various firearms were found at a short-term rental property in Sorrento, a town near Shuswap Lake, as part of an ongoing investigation.
On Saturday night (March 20), following their arrest, Mounties obtained a search warrant at the residence.
They found loaded firearms, hundreds of grams of suspected illicit drugs and thousands of dollars in cash.
Items seized included:
- More than 650 grams of suspected fentanyl
- About 100 grams of suspected meth
- More than 30 grams of suspected heroin
- About 16 grams of suspected cocaine
- Loaded .22 calibre handgun
- .22 calibre sawed-off semi-automatic rifle
- Sawed-off double-barrelled shotgun
The Prince George residents now face charges that are currently being assessed by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
They've been released for the time-being as police continue their investigation.
Anyone with more information related to this incident is encouraged to call Salmon Arm RCMP at 250-832-6044.
