Two people have been arrested after West Kelowna RCMP carried out a search warrant at a Chieftain Road home, Tuesday evening.

The police warrant was issued in part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of drug trafficking.

A 57-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman were taken into police custody without incident.

During the search, police seized over $2,000 in cash, along with undisclosed amounts of suspected methamphetamine, heroin, GHB (Gamma-hydroxybuturate) and cocaine. Other items consistent with trafficking illicit drugs were also seized by police inside the residence.

Both West Kelowna residents face potential drug-related charges and are expected to appear in court at an unspecified date.
