Two people are in custody after a joint investigation led to the seizure of what is believed to be crystal meth on Sunday night.
During the evening of August 19, a BC Conservation Officer and Cranbrook RCMP General Duty and Crime Reduction Unit members conducted a joint investigation in the Fort Steele area along the Kootenay River leading to a seizure of approximately one ounce of what is suspected to by Crystal Methamphetamine, drug trafficking paraphernalia, various ammunition and an air pistol.
A 26-year-old male, Dillon Hodder, and an un-named 36 year-old-female were arrested and are being held at the Cranbrook Detachment pending a bail hearing in Cranbrook Provincial Court. Both individuals are of no fixed address.
