On October 10, 2014, members of the Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Teams (SET) concluded a four week long drug trafficking investigation with the execution of a search warrant at a residence located on the 200 block of Mills Road, as well as a second search warrant executed simultaneously at a residence located on the 1400 block of Crawford Road. The searches yielded a significant amount of evidence to support the on-going investigation including drugs, cash, ammunition, body armour and property.

In total police seized 1.515 kilograms of Cocaine, 1.038 kilograms of Methamphetamine, 64.89 grams of Ecstasy (MDMA), 224.2 grams of Heroin, 403 grams of Hashish, over $18,500 cash, approximately 500 rounds of various calibre ammunition, body armour and several vehicles including 2 newer pick-up trucks, 3 newer domestic cars, and an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) as proceeds of crime.

“The success of this operation was as a result of a combined effort between the Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Units, the Downtown Enforcement Unit (DEU) and General Duty Sections,” says Cpl. Jeff Meyers. “It is believed that the amount of drugs seized as a result of this investigation will have a profound impact on the local drug trade.”

As a result of this investigation a 30 year-old Kelowna man and a 34 year-old Kelowna man were arrested, each face four potential charges of Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking. Both were released with a court date set at December 15th
