A downtown Kelowna search warrant turned up illicit drugs, cash and several imitation firearms, according to local police.

Kelowna RCMP say the search warrant was executed on Wednesday at a residence along the 800 block of Harvey Avenue.

Police say the bust was related to an active criminal investigation into suspected drug trafficking in the city’s downtown core.

“During their search of the home, police seized quantities of suspected fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin,” said Const. Solana Paré.
