Targeted Drug Bust in Williams Lake Seizes Drugs, Cash, and Weapons

A ‘Targeted’ drug bust in Williams Lake had RCMP seize drugs, cash, and weapons from a residence.

Williams Lake RCMP says during “proactive enforcement” in Williams Lake on June 12, the Cariboo Chilcotin Crime Reduction Unit observed a man making “hand-to-hand transactions,” similar to those of drug trafficking. Police say they arrested the man, and got a warrant to search a residence in Williams Lake.

“The man was found to be in possession of illicit drugs, cash, and drug trafficking materials when arrested,” said Corporal Brett Urano, Division Media Relations Officer for the BC RCMP.

“The Cariboo Chilcotin Crime Reduction Unit, with the assistance of the Williams Lake RCMP officers, executed the search warrant at the man’s residence and located more drugs, illicit cigarettes, money, and weapons.”

Corporal Urano said the man and the residence were known to Williams Lake officers at the time, and the man has been released from custody pending further investigation.
