Suspects charged with multiple drug trafficking offences

A drug bust earlier this year has now resulted in three West Kelowna residents being charged with drug trafficking.

In March, police executed several search warrants at two homes and one industrial property and seized over $30,000 in cash and over 1.5 kg of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine.

Fourty-two-year-old Neil Elliot Collins, 51-year-old Joseph Michael Trozzolo, and 39-year-old Patricia Kathleen Gianakos are scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 29 to speak to the charges.

“The Kelowna RCMP Drug Section continues to focus on those involved in the illicit drug trade in Kelowna and neighbouring cities that have a drug nexus to the City of Kelowna,” said Cpl. Jeff Carroll of the Kelowna RCMP Drug Section.
