RCMP officers executing a search warrant last week seized an estimated $1 million in cannabis products and cash, along with a significant number of firearms.
According to police, members of the Prince George RCMP’s Street Crew Unit executed the warrant under the Cannabis Act on March 23.
Police arrested a man and a woman, and seized more than 55 kilograms of dried cannabis, along with other cannabis products and $550,000 in cash.
Investigators also seized five shotguns and rifles and several handguns, ammunition and prohibited magazines.
“This is a substantial seizure resulting from the investigation of persons previously not known to police” Prince George RCMP Insp. Shaun Wright in a media release.
“Our officers will continue to target those persons that do not abide by Canadian law, including the Cannabis Act.”
