A joint drug operation between the Elk Valley and Cranbrook/Kimberley RCMP resulted in the seizure of sizable amount of cocaine and cash after police searched a Sparwood home earlier this week.

On January 4, officers from the Elk Valley RCMP and Cranbrook RCMP Drug Section executed a search warrant at a home in the 6000 block of Lower Elk Valley Rd., Sparwood.

As a result of the search, investigators seized over two ounces of cocaine, along with weapons, drug trafficking paraphernalia and a little more than $16,000 in cash. A 64-year-old Sparwood man was taken into custody and will be facing various charges including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
