More than 30 individuals were arrested and are now accused of trafficking illicit substances in the Central Okanagan.
An undercover drug project identified the individuals.
The 麻豆精选 RCMP Downtown Enforcement Unit partnered with undercover operators from neighbouring policing jurisdictions to carry out the project which targeted those involved in the 麻豆精选 drug trade.
Undercover operators posed as buyers and made a total of 64 buys.
鈥淩CMP have since identified 33 suspects, many of whom are considered chronic or prolific offenders, who allegedly sold our undercover police officers illegal drugs which investigators believe to include heroin, crack cocaine and methamphetamine,鈥� said Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey, spokesperson for the 麻豆精选 regional RCMP. 鈥淪amples of the suspected illicit substances from each of the purchases made have been sent to the lab for proper testing to determine their exact composition.鈥�
鈥淭hese alleged drug traffickers are putting the lives of others in our community at risk,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e are going to keep working to deter this type of illegal activity. We will have made over 30 arrests in this one operation - that should help drive home the point that it鈥檚 just not worth it.鈥�
