Sooke RCMP seized drugs, cash and weapons from a man Tuesday after witnessing a drug deal.
Officers were in the area of Evergreen Centre on Sooke Road engaging in a proactive drug investigation when they saw the deal. They proceeded to arrest one man for possession of a controlled substance and, after searching him, found weapons and cash on him as well.
In total, officers seized cocaine, ketamine, MDMA, prescription pills, $6,000 cash, a large machete and pepper spray.
Last month, Sooke RCMP also made a drug and weapons bust, seizing heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine, a hatchet, brass knuckles and a machete, among other things. They say it is part of their ongoing focus on targeting drug dealers.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 250-642-5241 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
