$391k of fentanyl seized by Prince George RCMP

PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP say a drug bust in town accounts “for a large portion of Prince George’s illicit drug supply.”

Over the past month, Cpl. Jennifer Cooper says members of the RCMP’s Street Crew Unit have been conducting an investigation into drug trafficking in town.

“Police arrested two men in the course of the investigation, seizing over 70 grams of suspected fentanyl, cash and drug trafficking paraphernalia off one of the suspects. Both of the men are well known to police for their ties to the illicit drug trade in Prince George.”

She says police executed two search warrants, one at a residence on the 2000 block of Pine Street, the other at an apartment building on the 1700 block of 17th Ave, where investigators seized approximately 800 grams of suspected fentanyl, smaller amounts of suspected cocaine and methamphetamine and a firearm.
