RCMP seize drugs, weapons and stolen property from residence

The Kelowna RCMP Community Safety Unit (CSU) seized illicit drugs, weapons and suspected stolen property from a residence in the Rutland area.

Officers executed a search warrant Aug. 26 at a property in the 400-block of Rutland Road South. The warrant was related to an active criminal investigation into suspected drug trafficking.

“During their search of the home, police seized quantities of suspected illicit drugs including suspected fentanyl and cocaine from inside the residence,” stated Cst. Solana Pare of the Kelowna RCMP. “Our officers seized a variety of weapons including imitation firearms and a large amount of cash, as well as several bicycles believed to be recovered stolen property.”

Six people were taken into custody at the residence.

“Those individuals were later released unconditionally without charge, pending further investigation. The matter will be submitted to Public Prosecution Service of Canada for consideration of charges,” said Pare.
