SORRENTO, B.C. — A man and woman from Prince George are facing charges after a drug and weapons bust in the Shuswap community of Sorrento.

According to Salmon Arm RCMP, a drug-trafficking investigation led Mounties to a short-term rental property in Sorrento Saturday (Mar. 20), where they arrested a 30-year-old woman and 59-year-old man from Prince George.

Searching the property later that evening, investigators found 650 grams of suspected fentanyl, about 100 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 16 grams of suspected cocaine and over 30 grams of suspected heroin.

They also found a loaded .22-calibre handgun, a .22-calibre sawed-off semi-automatic rifle and a sawed-off, double-barrelled shotgun.
