Drug bust on Nation Crescent

PRINCE GEORGE—RCMP announced a drug bust in Prince George. Mounties say it occurred on September 15, at a home on the 1400-block of Nation Crescent, where two people were believed to be trafficking illicit substances. The drugs seized by police officers are suspected to be over 130 grams of fentanyl, 300 grams of cocaine, 190 grams of methamphetamine. More than $20,000 in cash was also seized by police. Two men were arrested and released pending the charges approval by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

The public is often concerned when they hear police officers have released suspected drug traffickers without immediately forwarding charges. Due to the Jordan decision caselaw of 2016, police require time to compile a fulsome report which is then submitted to Public Prosecution Service of Canada for their review and charge approval

Prince George RCMP’s Street Crew Unit encourages the public to report any suspicious activities in their area to Crime Stoppers to help identify people involved in trafficking illicit drugs in our community.
