Eight people were arrested, say West Kelowna RCMP, during a drug bust at a ‘problem house’ on Thursday morning.
Police say the bust happened along the 2400 block of Last Road at 10:30 a.m., with officers executing a search warrant under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act.
In addition to the arrests and multiple police vehicles on scene, three vehicles were towed from the address, including a black Range Rover and a Mercedes-Benz SUV.
“This particular residence has been what we deem a problem residence for at least the last 10-15 years, involving drug trafficking, firearms seizures, stolen property seizures,” Sgt. Greg Woodcox told Global News.
Woodcox said it’s a location where “prolific thieves, frankly, bring some stolen property over the last decade or so. And that’s why we’re here.”
