Federal Crown counsel has approved charges related to three separate drug investigations conducted in Prince George last year - including one that saw a seizure of roughly $1 million in cash and cannabis.
From that investigation, Scott William Loutit, 36, and Katelyn Bree Wiebe, 30, both of Prince George have been charged with possessing cannabis for the purpose of trafficking as well as with two firearms charges.
They were initially arrested on March 23, 2019 after Prince George RCMP's street crew unit executed a search warrant on an undisclosed Prince George home.
The search yielded 55 kilograms of dried cannabis and more than $550,000 cash, along with a "significant amount" of other forms of cannabis and several firearms and ammunition.
Both are scheduled to make their first appearance in court on September 23.
From a July 5, 2019 search of two homes in Prince George, Marshall Luther Cade, 26, has been charged with four counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking while John Jacob Ceal, 30, and Shawn Brian Omark Whaling, 27, have each been charged with one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
All three are from Prince George and are also scheduled to first appear in court on September 23,
RCMP said the street crew unit had uncovered a significant amount of cash, cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl when it executed search warrants for homes in the 800 block of 15th Avenue and the 200 block of North Ospika Boulevard.
Whaling also faces one count each of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a loaded firearm without a licence from a July 26, 2019 search of the same 200-block North Ospika home and of a 1300-block Irwin Street home.
Whaling is scheduled to appear in court on September 30 on those counts.
