Three people have been arrested in British Columbia's Fraser Valley after a months-long investigation into an operation allegedly selling illicit drugs directly to youth in the area.
Mission RCMP say police began their investigation earlier this year, when a 16-year-old and their parent notified the Mounties that teenager was able to buy cannabis and psilocybin from a website.
It was followed by a second report weeks later, when another parent contacted police and said their teenager had also bought "candy-named gummies" containing psilocybin from the same website.
Police say they prioritized the case due to allegations of illicit drug sales to youth, eventually identifying two addresses in Abbotsford where searches were carried out on May 20.
There, investigators seized packages of suspected marijuana and psilocybin as well as edible products and vapes numbering in the thousands.
Two men and a woman have been arrested and released pending test results on the substances discovered in the search, and police are asking anyone who is aware of similar operations allegedly targeting youth to contact investigators.
