Victoria BC – A local drug dealer and his associates
were arrested last week after community information led to the bust of this
active drug house.
VicPD’s Crime Reduction Unit and Strike Force Section
arrested the 39-year-old man after a search warrant was executed at his
residence in the 2500-block of Graham Street. This location had been a
problem for a while with deals being done inside the residence and often in
exchange for property stolen from break and enters or theft from cars.
The Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team executed the
search warrant last Friday. The fortified residence had surveillance and when
GVERT was finally able to get in, the main suspect and three others were
located inside. Upon searching, officers noticed a plethora of weapons, drug
paraphernalia and stolen property.
“Drug investigations often go hand-in-hand with recovering
stolen property,” said Inspector Brian Fox, Officer in Charge of the
Operational Support Division. “We’re very happy we could stand with this
neighbourhood and say ‘enough is enough.’”
The investigation continues and officers are now working on
identifying and returning the recovered stolen property and putting the best
case forward for Crown Counsel.
