A Surrey drug trafficking investigation that began earlier this year has led to multiple, large-quantity drug seizures and numerous charges against the individuals involved.
As a result of the investigation, approximately 30,000 doses of cocaine and almost 4,800 doses of heroin/fentanyl were seized.

“This network was preying on those most vulnerable in our community, including those living on 135 A Street, and was profiting from the opioid health crisis affecting the entire region,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann in a release.
“These drugs would have likely been sold to thousands of different drug users,” said Schumann.”These seizures will have a significant impact on this criminal network’s ability to distribute illicit drugs.”
Also recovered in the searches were six weapons (including two loaded handguns), body armour, a stolen vehicle, stolen identity cards, cash, and various materials consistent with those found at drug processing and supply sites.
The searches and seizures also led to the arrest of four individuals, who are all now facing a series of charges (48 in total) in connection with the case.
