Prince George RCMP's street crew unit scored seizures of drugs and guns from two homes and a motel during the first week of April.

The basement unit of a 900-block Carney Street home was targeted on Thurs., Apr. 1 as part of a drug trafficking investigation. 

A search warrant yielded scales, packaging, weapons and ammunition that RCMP say are common with the street-level drug trade. They also arrested a man wanted on outstanding warrants and who police said was found with a quantity of cash and suspected illicit drug consistent with drug trafficking.

The unit followed up on Wed., Apr. 7 by shadowing three men and a woman known to police as they left a motel in the 2200 block of the Hart Highway and drove to a business in the 5900 block of O'Grady Road.

RCMP saw them leave the business with about $1,500 in items that police determined were stolen. The four were arrested and a search warrant was executed on the motel room where they found an ounce of suspected methamphetamine and a loaded .22-calibre rifle. 

Two more people were arrested at the scene. One of the six arrested was also apprehended during the "boost and bust" operation at Pine Centre Mall in late March, RCMP noted.

Then, on Thur., Apr. 8, street crew unit members found themselves back at a 2100-block Spruce Street home where they have previously executed a search warrant on Tues., March 23.

This time, quantities of suspected methamphetamine, suspected fentanyl and suspected crack cocaine were seized, along with scales, packaging, cash, and several weapons as well as  ammunition and a replica pistol.

Ten people were arrested of which two could faces charges pending further investigation.

Names of the suspects were not released and charges remain pending.
