With assistance from the Abbotsford Police Department, Indigenous Policing Services, and the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team, the Chilliwack RCMP conducted a “co-ordinated police operation” on January 21, according to a news release issued Tuesday.
On that date, the involved agencies executed four search warrants — two at homes in Abbotsford, one at a home in Chilliwack, and one at a home in Agassiz.
During the searches, police seized “a substantial quantity of illicit substances,” along with vehicles and cash. Investigators recovered 1.2 kilograms of fentanyl, 107 grams of cocaine, 365 millilitres of “liquid cocaine,” three vehicles, and more than $51,000 in cash.
Four people were arrested, but all four have since been released pending further investigation.
