Drugs, weapons and almost $20K in cash seized in police raid

Drugs, weapons seized

Kelowna RCMP arrested a man found with drugs, weapons and almost $20,000 in cash at a home on Wednesday.

The Community Safety Unit (CSU) executed a search warrant in the 100 block of Prior Road South as a result of an active drug trafficking investigation when they made the discovery.

“During the search of the residence, police seized quantities of suspected methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cannabis,” says Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy of the Kelowna RCMP.

“Our officers also seized weapons and various drug paraphernalia commonly used in the trafficking of controlled substances, along with almost $20 000 of currency.”

A 42-year-old Kelowna man was arrested at the scene, but was released without charges as the investigation continues.

Police say evidence from the investigation will be forwarded to Crown Counsel for review and charge approval.

Anyone with information is asked to call Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
