The Quesnel RCMP Crime Reduction Unit wrapped up an investigation in August of 2022 with the arrest of a suspect in a commercial parking lot off of Newman Road.
It was an extensive investigation that also included units based out of Williams Lake and Prince George.
Search warrants were then executed on properties on Ash Street, Eagle Road, and Pollard Road resulting in the seizure of just under 5 kilograms of cocaine, $92,000 cash, and 15 firearms.
