Quesnel RCMP's crime reduction unit seized a "trifecta" of drugs, guns and cash and arrested a man and a woman after executing a search warrant in the community.

The warrant was executed Thurs., May 27 on an apartment complex on Doherty Drive and items seized include one kilogram of fentanyl, 245 grams of cocaine, 14 grams of methamphetamine, two firearms, and approximately $9,000 in cash.

"The items that were recovered during this search warrant are the trifecta of drug trafficking," Quesnel RCMP Sgt. Richard Weseen said.

"The illegal drugs are for sale and distribution, the cash is the profit the trafficker made by taking advantage of vulnerable people, and the firearms are used for intimidation and to protect their stash."

Names of the suspects were not released and charges remain pending approval from Crown counsel.
