CHETWYND — Mounties are praising the public for its help in a Chetwynd drug bust.

North District RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson says on Thursday, June 4, the Chetwynd RCMP received a report of a stolen vehicle which they later located.

She says it led to the arrest of three adults and the discovery of cash and drugs.

“During the arrest, police located over $23,000 in cash as well as various quantities of illicit drugs suspected to be crack cocaine, fentanyl and GHB. All three individuals will be attending court at a later date for these matters.”

Chetwynd RCMP Cpl. McElwain notes the public tip with updates on the location of the vehicle was “instrumental in the arrest of these prolific offenders.”
