Three simultaneous search warrants carried out by Surrey RCMP last month resulted in multiple arrests and the seizure of numerous weapons and a significant quantity of drugs.
On April 19th, 2017 officers with the Surrey RCMP’s North Community Response Unit (CRU) executed three simultaneous search warrants at residences in the 12900 block of 108th Avenue and 13300 block of Bentley Road.
Police had gathered information that individuals were operating "store front" drug operations and in possession of firearms at these locations.
With assistance from the Surrey RCMP’s Bike Team, Lower Mainland District’s Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services, and Transit Police, officers arrested a total of 13 persons at these locations.
A number of weapons were seized including multiple handguns and crossbows, along with varying amounts of drugs, including 1,100 doses of crystal methamphetamine, 400 doses of heroin/suspected fentanyl, and 9 kilograms of cannabis marijuana.
The investigation is ongoing as officers work on submitting a comprehensive report to Crown Counsel. One individual, Adam Bruce BOGART, 32 years old from Surrey, has now been charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (x3), Possession of a Firearm (x2), and Breach of a Firearms Prohibition. Three other individuals were also detained on outstanding warrants.
The Surrey RCMP continues to monitor, arrest, and disrupt the activities of multiple priority target individuals and locations associated to the street level drug trade, says S/Sgt. Marty Blais, North Community Response Unit Commander.
