West Shore RCMP Seize Drugs, Cash, and Replica Guns

Police seized suspected cocaine, fentanyl, thousands of pills and more than $10,000 in cash during raids tied to a drug trafficking probe.

  • On May 15, West Shore RCMP searched 2 Langford properties, seizing drugs, replica guns, and over $10,000 in cash during a coordinated operation targeting suspected drug trafficking.
  • The Drugs and Organized Crime Unit investigated the residences since February after becoming aware of a drug trafficking ring operating from both homes.
  • Assisted by the Vancouver Island Emergency Response Team and West Shore RCMP Serious Crimes, officers executed the warrants and arrested a 43-year-old man in relation to drug trafficking.
  • Evidence seized includes suspected cocaine and fentanyl, thousands of unidentified pills, three replica handguns, and edged weapons including a machete, throwing knives, and a hatchet.
  • The investigation remains ongoing with no charges currently laid, though a Cpl stated the seizure reflects efforts to disrupt the West Shore drug trade.
