PRINCE GEORGE—Members of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC’s) of British Columbia’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET) were deployed to Prince George, last week, seizing weapons, and illicit drugs.
Last week, the UGET worked in partnership with the Prince George RCMP to ensure that the team was briefed on local crime hot spots and received up to date intelligence to help direct their enforcement activities.
Over the four days the UGET was in Prince George, 125 vehicles were stopped and 165 people were checked, with the majority of those people connected to the street-level drug trade. During one of those stops, they seized a loaded SKS rifle with ammunition located inside a vehicle along with other items associated with criminal activity.
A stabbing was witnessed by the team, who quickly jumped to intervene the assault, and caught the suspect. The CFSEU-BC says that removing weapons off the streets and out of the hands of those involved in the drug trade, as well as intervening in violent acts, was vital to the UGET violence and gang-related suppression efforts while in Prince George.
