Drug arrests at problem residence in Vernon

VERNON — Vernon RCMP have arrested three people for possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking at what they call a ‘problem residence’ on the 3500 block of 24th Avenue.

The arrests took place last Wednesday, August 22, when officers executed a warrant at the home.

Police say the search resulted in the seizure of large quantities of what they believe-to-be cocaine and heroin/fentanyl, along with Canadian currency and other items related to drug trafficking.

“The residence, where the warrant was executed, was identified as a problem premise in our community being used to traffic street level quantities of drugs,” says Corporal Dan Pollock, of the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP targeted policing unit. “Our efforts will continue to disrupt activities at this location until the illegal activity ceases.”
