Police say that this is the second time in two months that police have attended this residence. Back on February 14, 2023, the Prince George RCMP’s Street Crew Unit, with the assistance of the Emergency Response Team, executed a search warrant at the residence in relation to a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act investigation.

Cpl. Jennifer Cooper says that during this search, “a large quantity of suspected cocaine and drug trafficking paraphernalia was seized” and one person was arrested and was subsequently released to the community, pending the full results of the investigation.

Both files remain under investigation.
