What is suspected to be a particularly deadly amount of fentanyl, as well as possible cocaine, methamphetamine, drug trafficking paraphernalia and cash, were seized from a home in the Hart two weeks ago.
Prince George RCMP said the seizures were made May 17 when the detachment's street crew unit executed a search warrant on a 6000 block Rita Place home.
"Police have identified the fentanyl seized as extremely potent and it is believed to be responsible for several drug overdose deaths in Prince George in the last month," Cpl. Jennifer Cooper said in a statement issued Wednesday.
A suspect was arrested and later released pending charge approval.
"The seizure of these drugs has saved lives and resulted in a safer community," said Cpl. Scott Cundy of the street crew unit.
"We would like to remind the public that investigators are targeting enforcement action against those involved in the illicit drug trade and we encourage the public to contact police or Crime Stoppers with any information."
