Ridge Meadows RCMP say a five-month investigation has led to the biggest seizure of drugs, cash and weapons in the detachment’s history.
Police say multiple kilograms of suspected drugs were seized during a raid on homes in Maple Ridge and Mission on July 15.
The seizure included 3.5 kg of fentanyl, 2.2 kg of meth, 659 grams cocaine/crack, 1.64 kg of ketamine, and more than 800 pills of codeine/morphine. Police also seized weapons, ammunition, body armour, and more than $100,000 in cash.
“Any time that you can remove that quantity of drugs off our streets we certainly know the impact will be significant in making our community safer,” Ridge Meadows RCMP Insp. Aaron Paradis said.
Christopher Leigh Harmes of Maple Ridge was charged with nine firearms-related offences the following day.
