Two Prince George men now face charges following a bust last week in which fentanyl was among the drugs seized.
The synthetic narcotic is 50 to 100 times more toxic than other opioids, such as heroin, and has been linked to a spike in overdoses and deaths.
Chabasco Brian Jumbo faces five counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, three counts of possession of a firearm contrary to an order and one count each of using a firearm in committing an offence and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
Thomas Albert Beaudette has been charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of an unauthorized weapon (non-firearm) and possession of a firearm contrary to an order.
They were among six people arrested Thursday night when RCMP executed a search warrant on a 2200-block Tamarack Street home.
Cocaine, methamphetamine, a loaded .44-calibre revolver, ammunition for the gun, a significant amount of cash and drug trafficking paraphernalia were also found in the home.
The two are known to the police and courts and have previous convictions for drug-related offences. Both remained in custody as of Monday.
