Mounties reportedly arrested more than a dozen people and seized weapons and illicit drugs in a day of targetting the “open drug trade” in Surrey’s Whalley neighbourhood.
On Oct. 3, the Surrey RCMP says its North Community Response Unit arrested 14 people — some with outstanding warrants.
Police also seized the following items:
- 16 weapons, including a pellet gun, brass knuckles, a billy club, a baton, a bear mace, and a variety of knives;
- 41.24 grams of suspected cocaine;
- 56.08 grams of suspected fentanyl; and
- 37.1 grams of suspected methamphetamine.
“The quantity of drugs and weapons seized from open-air drug traffickers is concerning to us,” staid Staff Sgt. Nigel Pronger.
Anyone who wishes to report suspicions of drug trafficking is encouraged to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
