MERRITT, B.C. — The Merritt RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) has seen an increase in successful investigations into the local drug trade recently.
“We have seen huge success over the past six months targeting our local drug trade and prolific offenders,” Sgt. Josh Roda says. “Overdoses in our community are down, which is largely in part to taking these drugs off the streets and the hard work being put in by our local community partners working with our vulnerable population.”
According to police, over the past six months, the GIS have executed six search warrants on residences and dwelling units associated to drugs and violent offences, taking pounds of illegal drugs off the streets and 20 prohibited/restricted/illegally obtained firearms.
Throughout these investigations, officers say numerous charges and arrests have been made against known offenders.
