VERNON, B.C. — Three Vernon men are behind bars for allegedly trafficking heroin and fentanyl.

The first arrest occurred on July 11, when a 35 year old man was arrested on a warrant for three counts of drug trafficking.

Upon arrest, the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP say the suspect was found to be in possession of “numerous small bags of a suspected heroin/fentanyl mix and crack cocaine packaged for street sale resulting in an additional two charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking.”

The second bust occurred two days later, when a 34 year old man was arrested on two warrants — one for one count of drug trafficking in May of 2018 and one for two counts of drug trafficking in June of 2018.
