RCMP arrest two people in Kelowna drug investigation

Kelowna RCMP have arrested two people in connection with a street-level drug sale investigation.

Mounties executed a warrant at a supportive housing complex in the 2000-block of Agassiz Road at approximately 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22.

The investigation remained open, but two people were arrested as a result of the search.

“A collaborative investigation with the John Howard Society assisted officers in identifying one particular unit within the complex where the occupants are alleged to be trafficking illicit drugs,” Insp. Jason Charney, Regional Operations Officer, said.

“We’ve heard the concerns of our community members and it’s important for us to not only address these concerns, but target those who are supplying potentially toxic drugs directly to a considerably vulnerable population group. Our goal is to disrupt and deter crime in our community, and rest assured these types of projects will continue.”

The RCMP did not state if the two people were released or if charges were approved against the pair, not did it state if any illicit substances were seized during the search.
