3 charged in a drug operation in Richmond

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 Nov, 2024 10:47 AM

Police in Metro Vancouver say three people have been charged after a multi-year investigation into an alleged drug trafficking operation in Richmond.

R-C-M-P say the probe began in November 2021, and searches at multiple properties in that city, as well as Vancouver, turned up some 15-hundred tablets of alleged M-D-M-A as well as 3.6 kilograms of methamphetamine.

The three people are facing a total of 13 counts of drug trafficking.

Police say the investigation stemmed from intelligence obtained in a separate case that's currently making its way through court.
