Surrey RCMP seize illicit cannabis from West Vancouver home
The Surrey RCMP says one man was arrested and 700 pounds of illicit cannabis, weapons, and over $100,000 in cash were seized from a West Vancouver home last month.
Mounties say the investigation began when officers busted a shipping business in north Surrey and seized four large boxes of illicit cannabis in September.
Later that month, police reportedly intercepted a second shipment at the same location, including 170 pounds of illicit cannabis.
On Oct. 10, the Surrey RCMP Drug Unit executed a search warrant at a home on Stevens Drive in West Vancouver. Police say they arrested a 29-year-old man and seized the following items:
- $145,000 in cash;
- More than 1,000 chocolate psilocybin bars;
- Four kilograms of psilocybin;
- 700 pounds of dried cannabis;
- Three shotguns;
- Three submachine guns;
- And ammunition.
The Surrey RCMP says the investigation is ongoing.
