Firearms, drugs and vehicles were seized by Mounties last week during a drug trafficking investigation in downtown Chilliwack.
On July 5, 2019 officers of the Chilliwack RCMP Priority Target Team (PTT) executed a search warrant of an address in the 46000-block of Princess Avenue.
Police seized a loaded shotgun, a modified handgun, two cross bows, ammunition, and replica handgun air pistols.
Also seized were a motorcycle, dirt bike, and two scooters linked to thefts reported to Chilliwack RCMP together with drugs believed to be fentanyl, paraphernalia associated to drug trafficking, and cash.
One person was arrested on an unrelated matter. Police have not named anyone, but prolific offender Cole Larry Amey was arrested at the house raided on July 5 and is now facing three breach charges connected to previous firearms charges, and one new firearms charge.
