It was six days of successful work for the Prince Rupert Detachments Drug Task Force as a number of drug raids across the city netted them a cocaine trafficker as well as number of local marihuana traffickers, including one incident in which a home hosting a grow op caught fire on Comox Street.
The RCMP provided full details on their website, listing the four separate investigations that led to arrests in the six day span of February 5-10
A Successful Week for The Prince Rupert RCMP Drug Task Force
From February 5th to February 10th, 2007, the Prince Rupert RCMP developed a task force, from several units of the Prince Rupert RCMP detachment, to target local drug trafficking activities. Four seperate search warrants were successfully executed on four seperate residences during this six day period.
The first search warrant was executed on a residence on the 1000 block of 7th Avenue East. As a result of this search warrant a large quantity of marihuana and a sum of cash were seized. Charges of Possession of Marihuana for the Purpose of Trafficking are being forward against a 48 year old male from Prince Rupert.
The second search warrant was in relation to a residence on the 500 block of 6th Avenue West. A quantity of marihuana and cash was again seized from this residence. This was the second search warrant conducted at this residence in a three month period. Charges for Possession of Marihuana for the Purpose of Trafficking have been submitted in relation to both of these investigations against a 48 year old male from Prince Rupert.
The third search warrant was executed on Thursday night, at a residence on the 200 block of 11th Street. A large quantity of cocaine and cash was seized from this residence. A charge for Possession of Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking is being recommended against a 42 year old male from Prince Rupert in this instance. This same male was also arrested in October 2006 and is facing similar charges for that investigation.
The last search warrant was the result of a residential fire in the 800 block of Comox Avenue, where a marihuana grow operation was located. The fire was identified by a member of the task force who immediately attended the residence and evacuated the occupants, including a one year old and a two year old child. The Prince Rupert Fire Department attended to extinguish the fire and located approximately 100 marihuana plants in the attic. This investigation is ongoing and charges are anticipated for Cultivation of Marihuana and Possession of Marihuana for the Purpose of Trafficking.
The implementation of this task force was considered a huge success by the Prince Rupert RCMP. The production and distribution of illicit substances is considered a high priority within our community, and will continue to be a focus with the goal of providing a safer community. The Prince Rupert RCMP wish to thank the members of our community that have supported this endeavor by providing assistance and information. Further inquiries in reference to any of these investigations can be directed to Cpl.Mike TRAAS of the Prince Rupert RCMP General Investigation Section.
