PRINCE GEORGE — There’s been a drug bust on the 6000-block of Rita Place on the Hart.

Prince George RCMP say the bust occurred on May 17 following the execution of a search warrant at an area home.

“During the search, suspected fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine, as well as drug trafficking paraphernalia and cash, were located and seized,” says Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.
“Police have identified the fentanyl seized as extremely potent and it is believed to be responsible for several drug overdose deaths in Prince George in the last month.”

RCMP say one person has been arrested and subsequently released pending charge approval by the Public Prosecution Service.

“The seizure of these drugs has saved lives and resulted in a safer community,” says Cpl. Scott Cundy of the RCMP’s Street Crew Unit. “We would like to remind the public that investigators are targeting enforcement action against those involved in the illicit drug trade and we encourage the public to contact police or Crime Stoppers with any information.”
