Police arrested two people over the weekend seizing illicit drugs, cash and drug trafficking paraphernalia.

On Saturday, Sept. 17, as the result of an ongoing investigation, the Smithers RCMP obtained a search warrant for a travel trailer, which was parked on Crown land in the Bulkley River area known as Dohler Flats.

During the search, officers located a “significant quantity” of illicit drugs, Canadian currency, and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking behaviour.

Officers arrested a man and woman while executing the search warrant, both of whom have since been released without charges pending further investigation.
