R-C-M-P say they have wrapped up a case that shutdown an illicit drug "superlab" producing huge quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl in the north Okanagan community of Lumby.
Corporal Arash Seyed, with the B-C Mounties' federal serious and organized crime program, says the last two people charged for running the lab were convicted last month and sentenced to a total of 11-years in prison.
In all, six people were convicted of running the lab which Seyed says was capable of producing millions of doses of potentially lethal fentanyl.
He says not only was there potential for fentanyl to contaminate other drugs made in the lab, police also faced a major clean-up after the bust in 2018 because synthetic waste materials could have fouled area waterways and farmlands.
