Mounties say a man and woman have been arrested after a raid in West Vancouver last month found illicit drugs, cash, and vehicles.
The Burnaby RCMP says the bust at the Waterfront home netted multiple kilograms of suspected fentanyl and cocaine, $40,000, a pick-up truck, a BMW, and two Sea-Doos.
The raid, which happened on March 22 but was reported Tuesday, was the result of a four-month long ‘dial a dope’ investigation, spearheaded by the Burnaby RCMP’s Drugs and Organized Crime Section.
The RCMP explained that two children were living in the raided West Vancouver home.
“Having children living in a residence with these types and amounts of drugs inevitably puts them in danger from these drugs as well as other elements that come from being in a criminal lifestyle,” said Sgt. Randy Mortensen.
The RCMP says that the investigation is ongoing, but it has not mentioned whether charges have been laid.
“People involved in the distribution of these drugs are contributing to the staggering number of deaths over the past decade in this province,” Mortensen added.
