A coordinated police operation has taken down a major drug trafficking network operating in Chilliwack and Abbotsford, leading to multiple arrests and the seizure of significant quantities of illicit drugs, cash, and vehicles.
On January 21, officers from the Chilliwack RCMP, Indigenous Policing Services, Abbotsford Police Department, and the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team (IERT) executed four search warrants across the region.
Raids were conducted at two residences in Abbotsford, one in Chilliwack, and one in Agassiz.
Police seized 1,249 grams of fentanyl, 107 grams of cocaine, 365 ml of liquid cocaine, three vehicles, and $51,441.55 in cash. Four individuals were arrested and later released pending further investigation.
“This successful operation underscores the critical role of intelligence-led policing and inter-agency collaboration in keeping our communities safe,” said Insp. Bowerman, Operations Support Officer for the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment.
“The seizures effectively removed 1,249 grams of fentanyl from circulation, which has eliminated 12,490 potentially lethal doses from the streets.”
The Chilliwack RCMP continues to target organized crime and drug trafficking. Anyone with information about criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Chilliwack RCMP or report anonymously through BC Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
