In total officer seized 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, 1.03 kilograms of methamphetamine, 64 grams of MDMA, otherwise known as ecstasy, 224 grams of heroin, 403 grams of hash, and more than $18,500 cash. Police also found more than 500 rounds of various calibre ammunition, several vehicles including two pick-up trucks, three cars and an ATV.

“The success of this operation was as a result of a combined effort between the Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Units, the Downtown Enforcement Unit (DEU) and General Duty Sections,” says Cpl. Jeff Meyers. “It is believed that the amount of drugs seized as a result of this investigation will have a profound impact on the local drug trade."
