MERRITT, B.C. — Three different search warrants at houses in Merritt led to numerous weapons and drugs being seized and a man being arrested.
On Friday (June 3), Merritt RCMP say they executed two search warrants simultaneously at residences in the 1800-block of Orme Street for drug trafficking. Police say multiple people were detained as they located suspected fentanyl, drug packaging and scales inside.
Shortly after, RCMP say they gained new information of a third location believed to be connected to the residences on Orme Street. They obtained a third search warrant and executed it at a residence in the 2100-block of Priest Avenue.
Tyler James Collins from Merritt was located and arrested inside. RCMP say they found loaded semi-automatic rifles, prohibited magazines, body armour, suspected fentanyl, large amounts of cash and stolen property.
