Major RCMP Drug/Weapons/Cash Bust in Quesnel
RCMP North District Federal Drug Enforcement has arrested four people on drug and weapons charges, including a 43-year-old man who is believed to be at the centre of cocaine trafficking in Northern BC.
Immediately following the arrests, RCMP Drug Enforcement officers obtained warrants on a home and four businesses in Quesnel. Several rifles, two handguns, a large cache of ammunition, body armour, two tasers and another large sum of cash were seized. Two of the rifles are stolen, and one of them was loaded with prohibited magazines that presented a serious risk to the public. Stolen property worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was also seized including a one ton flat-deck truck, excavator, tractor, and other machinery.
RCMP Federal Drug Enforcement believes these arrests will have a significant impact on a number of crimes and cocaine trafficking activities throughout Northern British Columbia, ultimately contributing to crime reduction and safer communities.
