Two Langford residents have been arrested following a drug trafficking investigation by the West Shore RCMP.
According to police, the detachment’s Drugs and Organized Crime Unit launched an investigation in February into a suspected trafficker operating in the West Shore area.
On February 20th, officers arrested two individuals and executed two search warrants at a residence in Langford.
During the search, investigators located what they describe as substantial evidence consistent with a drug trafficking operation, including quantities of drugs, packaging materials and processing equipment.
Police say they seized more than 350 grams of suspected cocaine, including approximately 250 individual bags that were pre-packaged for street-level sales.
Officers also seized thousands of dollars in cash and roughly 12 ounces of silver, which police believe to be proceeds of crime.
A 44-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman, both Langford residents, were arrested in connection with the investigation.
“Drug trafficking has a direct and harmful impact on our communities,” said Corporal Kevin Pollock of the West Shore RCMP Drugs and Organized Crime Unit.
“We are targeting those responsible for distributing illicit drugs in the West Shore and continue to disrupt the drug trade.”
No charges have been announced at this time and the investigation remains ongoing.
