Vancouver Police say two men have been arrested after an investigation into alleged drug trafficking at a Marpole-area nightclub.

The Vancouver Police Department launched the investigation in December 2023, after getting a tip that drug trafficking was happening at Gallery Nightclub, near Southwest Marine and Hudson Street.

Police say a 15-month investigation led to the arrest of two men, both employees of the nightclub.

A 51-year-old suspect faces one count of trafficking a control substance.

A 28-year-old faces four counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, three counts of trafficking a controlled substance, one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking, and one count of possession of an unauthorized weapon.

The suspects have been released until their next court appearances.
