Police said they made a drug seizure worth about $30,000 after searching a Lake Country home.

RCMP said they arrested a 34-year-old Vernon woman near 35A Street and 41st Avenue last week.

The suspect was found to be in possession of heroin/fentanyl mix and cocaine packaged for street-level sale, as well as a large amount of cash.

Following the arrest, police carried out a search warrant at a condominium complex in the 3100-block of Lake Country’s Beaver Lake Road.

They found and seized hundreds of street-level portions of a heroin/fentanyl mix, crack cocaine and methamphetamine.

“This investigation targeted persons controlling the drug supply above the street-level dealer and will have a significant impact on the group’s operations in our community,” Sgt. David Evans said in a news release. “It serves as another example of our detachment’s commitment to targeting those responsible for trafficking drugs, including fentanyl in our community.”
