“All occupants were taken into police custody without incident.”
According to RCMP, in the course of the investigation, the officers found and seized:

To put this seizure into perspective, the average Surrey Secondary School has 1,143 to 1,739 enrolled students,
says Media Relations Officer Cst. Gurvinder Ghag, This one seizure has taken approximately 1,520 potentially fatal doses of Fentanyl off the streets, enough to supply a full school.
Two passengers were identified and released while a 25-year-old female driver is still in custody facing a number of firearms related charges.
