Kamloops RCMP conducted a search warrant at a residence in the 2800 block of Valleyview Drive on February 25.

Nathan Anthony Townsend fled the home but was arrested in a vehicle on Westsyde Road, with a wad of cash in his possession.

In the residence, 224 grams of cocaine and 1,446 g of marijuana were seized, along with a shotgun and crossbow.

Townsend will appear in court on May 30.

Kamloops RCMP said they believe the drug bust is linked to organized crime and they are still investigating.

Kamloops RCMP were awaiting charge approval against Townsend and analysis of the drugs seized before they released information on the arrest.
