PRINCE GEORGE — An employee of a downtown business has been arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking.

On Friday, November 7, 2025, RCMP investigators executed a warrant at a business on the 1100-block of Fifth Avenue, after illicit drugs were sold to undercover operators at that location.

The suspect arrested was a 46-year-old man. RCMP say the drugs were seized by investigators as part of their ongoing efforts to target open air drug markets in the downtown core.

“Prince George RCMP continues to focus its efforts on those who traffic drugs to the people living in our community. It remains a frustration of all involved that despite the known and obvious harms of the opioid crisis, that dealers continue to profit by selling drugs to vulnerable persons and perpetuate the cycle of harm both to the individual and the community as a whole,” states Superintendent Darin Rappel, Officer in Charge of the Prince George RCMP.

The suspect was subsequently released as any potential charges related to the drugs seized are pending further laboratory analysis and are subject to approval by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
