A man has been arrested and a "large amount" of methamphetamine and cocaine seized along with more than $60,000 in cash, Prince George RCMP said.

The chain of events began on Friday when members of the detachment's plainclothes street crew unit pulled over a 34-year-old man on Foothills Boulevard and uncovered $10,000 in cash.

It was enough to secure search warrants for homes in the 1200-block of North Ospika Boulevard and on Orbin Place in the Hart where the drugs and what police estimated to be more than $50,000 in cash was found, as well as drug trafficking paraphernalia.

The suspect, whose name was not released, was held for investigation and later released pending further inquiry and charge approval from federal Crown counsel.

The actions stem from an investigation that began in late 2019.
