In addition to the cocaine, officers also seized several guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition, body armour, three vehicles, a cocaine press and a large amount of cash from homes in Richmond, Chilliwack and Prince George.

RCMP say the group was responsible for supplying cocaine to Northern BC, and the investigation required collaboration between several different RCMP units.
