Gang Enforcement Team seizes drugs and weapons in Prince George

Mar 2, 2021 | 1:32 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — Drugs and weapons were seized during a recent visit to Prince George by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET).

The visit was prompted by a recent escalation in gang-related violence with UGET stopping 193 vehicles over four days.

Sgt. Brenda Winpenny says UGET had interactions with 346 people, with the majority of those people connected to the street-level drug trade.

“UGET members seized seven knives, one hatchet, two batons, two tasers, one machete, and eight rifles,” she says.

“While some of these items may be everyday tools for the general public, for individuals involved in criminal activity they can represent dangerous weapons used to intimidate or assault others, or to protect illegal commodities and proceeds of crime. Also seized were small quantities of suspected methamphetamine, and potentially deadly fentanyl.”
