Drugs and cash seized following searches in Creston
Creston RCMP executed search warrants on two properties in the Creston area on Wednesday, May 21. The first was located in the 3000 Block of Highway 3 in Erickson, with the second being in the 1200 Block of 10th Avenue North in Creston.
Following an extensive investigation by officers of the Creston RCMP, search warrants for two properties within the Creston Area were obtained. As a result of these search warrants, police seized suspected illicit substances, drug trafficking paraphernalia and Canadian currency.
Multiple people were arrested in both residences and have been released as the investigation continues pending assessment of charges by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
Two individuals were arrested on outstanding warrants not directly related to this investigation.
Creston RCMP utilized the assistance of the Southeast District Emergency Response Team, Crisis Negotiation team, Southeast District Containment team and local resources to assist in keeping the community safe during the execution of these search warrants.
“I am continually impressed by the tenacious efforts implored by the Members of Creston Detachment as it relates to disrupting the local drug trade. The public in the Creston Valley have made it abundantly clear that the trafficking of these poisons in our area, is unacceptable,” said S/Sgt. Brandon Buliziuk, Creston RCMP Detachment commander.
“We will continue to intervene and disrupt these activities aggressively, making the Creston Valley an inopportune location for these individuals to conduct their illicit business activities. We again would like to thank the Public for bringing information forward about suspected drug trafficking, and for your support as we work through these investigations.”
Creston RCMP will continue to make drug trafficking investigations a priority within the community. The public is encouraged to report suspicious, or drug related activity to the Creston RCMP at 250-491-9313.
