A dial-a-dope line running in South Burnaby was disconnected recently following a three-month investigation by Burnaby RCMP.
Together with officers from the prolific offender suppression team, criminal intelligence section, investigational support team and a school liaison officer, Burnaby’s drug section executed three search warrants on homes allegedly associated with a South Burnaby dope line.
According to the detachment’s May/June monthly report, the three search warrants were executed on homes in Burnaby, one in the 7000 block of 14th Avenue, a second in the 7000 block of 21st Avenue and a third in the 7000 block of Rosewood Street.
The warrants resulted in the arrest of six men, added the report.
While searching the homes, police seized large quantities of drugs and drug paraphernalia, including cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, marijuana, cash, drug packaging materials and scales. According to the report, police also found several weapons, including an AK47 magazine, a Glock .40-calibre magazine and a bullet-proof vest.
Charges for trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking against all six suspects are still pending as the investigation is on-going.
