Search for guns yields drugs

North Okanagan RCMP who were on a search for stolen firearms found more than they were looking for.

Last Friday, RCMP executed a search warrant on an Enderby home with the hope of recovering stolen firearms taken earlier in the month.

Instead of guns, says RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk, cops ended up discovering a large quantity of drugs.

“A large quantity of cash, cocaine, and other drug related items were found in the residence, the guns were not recovered in the search,” says Molendyk.

A 35-year-old man was arrested at the home in the 1900 block of George Street. Two other people located in the home were released without charges.

The suspect has been released for a future court date to face drug trafficking charges.
