  • 3 charged in drug bust

Three people are facing charges more than two years after police in B-C began a drug trafficking investigation.

Investigators with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit say search warrants were executed in November 2020 on four residences in Burnaby, Vancouver and Abbotsford.

They say police found about four kilograms of fentanyl as well as small amounts of other illicit drugs and Canadian cash.

Two men and one woman were charged last week with a series of offences including trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
