QUESNEL, B.C. — A two-month investigation in downtown Quesnel has led to substantial drug seizures.
In June and July 2025, Quesnel RCMP say its Crime Reduction Unit were able to buy illicit drugs from 19 alleged drug traffickers. During that time, police say they also executed search warrants on four properties associated to the drug trade.
In a news release issued Thursday (Sept. 11), RCMP say they seized 564 grams of cocaine, 304 grams of fentanyl, 63 grams of methamphetamine, 34 grams of crack cocaine, more than 1,000 prescription pills, seven guns and $9,815 in cash.
“The Quesnel Crime Reduction Unit remains committed to reducing community harm through pro-active enforcement,” S/Sgt. Richard Weseen, Quesnel RCMP Detachment Commander says. “By reducing the toxic drug supply and disrupting criminal enterprises, this project is just one example of the Quesnel detachment taking action to prevent overdoses and deaths.”
