RCMP have staged simultaneous busts on two Vernon homes suspected of selling drugs.
As part of an investigation into a suspected trafficking group, officers from the Vernon North Okanagan detachment’s targeted policing unit executed search warrants at two Vernon residences on Wednesday June 30.
“The search of a residence in the 3500 block of 17th Avenue and another in 1900 block of 33rd Street resulted in seizure of quantities of fentanyl, crack cocaine, cash and other drug trafficking paraphernalia,” Cpl. Tania Finn, media relations officer, said. “Additionally, police located and seized a restricted handgun, along with ammunition, and a prohibited device commonly known as a silencer.
“The seizure of drugs and illegal firearms from those involved in supplying drug traffickers is key to the detachment’s priority of enhancing public safety,” Sgt. David Evans of the targeted policing unit, said.
