Delta Police have arrested a man after acting on information that someone was trafficking drugs to minors, and purchasing liquor for minors.

A 27-year-old Delta man was arrested February 4 in Tsawwassen after police identified a suspect in relation to this matter. He was arrested for alleged distribution of cannabis and supplying liquor to minors.

“The investigation into this matter is continuing,” says Cris Leykauf, spokesperson for Delta Police. “If anyone has information on individual/s trafficking drugs or alcohol to minors they are asked to reach out to police by calling 604-946-4411 or if they wish to remain anonymous they can contact Crimestoppers.

The suspect has been released with conditions which police are monitoring closely. Police anticipate forwarding charges to Crown for approval related to Distribution of Cannabis under Cannabis Act, and supplying liquor to minors under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act of BC.
