Surrey RCMP Seize Large Supply Of Drugs In Dial-A-dope Bust

Darpan News Desk, 29 Aug, 2018 11:13 AM
    The Surrey RCMP Drug Unit has seized illicit drugs linked to a dial-a-dope line following an investigation which began in February of 2018.
     
     
    Over the past several months investigators have gathered evidence which resulted in the execution of a warrant at a residence in the 1100 block of Cecile Drive, in Port Moody.
     
     
    Police located and seized a number of items at the residence including:
     
     
    35 suspected XANAX pills
    140 doses of suspected powdered cocaine
    Bottle containing 90 doses of suspected GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate)
    400 doses of suspected methamphetamine
    Approximately $600 in Canadian currency
    Scales, packaging material, and drug paraphernalia associated to drug trafficking
     
     
     
    During the course of the investigation a further 140 doses of suspected methamphetamine, 940 doses or suspected cocaine powder, and a 2013 Volkswagon Golf sedan were also seized. 
     
     
    An adult male was arrested at the residence and later released. No charges have been laid at this point as the investigation is continuing.
     
     
    This house was in Port Moody, but drug trafficking from operations like this one affect public safety in communities all over the Lower Mainland, including Surrey, said Surrey Drug Unit Staff Sergeant Glenn Atkins. We will continue to investigate and shut down these dial-a-dope lines in our continued effort to tackle drug trafficking and the violence it is associated to.
     
     
    Anyone with information about this incident is asked to please call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or contact Crime Stoppers if you wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca
