On September 4th and again on Sept 8, police seized a quantity of Cocaine, Crack Cocaine and Heroin from a 24 year old male.
Police had received information about a male believed to be from the Lower Mainland that was trafficking in a controlled substance in Cranbrook.

On September 4, police executed a traffic stop on highway 95A in Wycliffe. The driver was arrested and a search found the illicit drugs.
Further information was obtained and officers were able to get a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act for the condo unit in Kimberley.
