Police discovered an abundance of drugs, cash and ammunition while executing a search warrant on a home in North Burnaby.
The Vancouver Police Department announced on Friday that officers had seized a number of items from a local residence as a result of a targeted enforcement initiative called Project Trio. The investigation targeted a group of drug traffickers with connections in Vancouver, Surrey, Abbotsford and Chilliwack and known gang affiliations.
According to Vancouver police, the intention of Project Trio was to disrupt the supply of drugs being brought into Vancouver’s South Slope neighbourhood. The investigation culminated in the execution of a search warrant at a home in North Burnaby on March 12.
Officers seized a number of items during their search, including digital scales, packaging materials, about six pounds of marijuana, 14 ounces of heroin, a quarter kilogram of cocaine, 20 80 gram tablets of Oxycontin, several boxes of 9mm ammunition and about $5,000 in cash.
Vancouver police said the investigation is ongoing and charges are expected soon.
