Mueller says at least two of the suspects have connections to the Red Scorpions gang though no names were released pending Crown charges.

He calls the bust significant in nature noting the drug dealing was netting approximately $5,000 a day. All suspects are from Kamloops except one male who is from Vancouver.

All are scheduled to appear in court at an undetermined date in the near future.
