During the search, police seized illicit drugs suspected to be fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine as well as cash and drug paraphernalia.
“We have and will continue to focus on drug activity in the community,” Smithers Staff Sergeant Mark Smaill said.
In October 2021, the Smithers RCMP began an investigation into drug trafficking within the community, which has yielded several such seizures.
