Marijuana, firearms seized by RCMP

Four arrested after police conduct drug bust near 105 Mile

Four men were arrested after RCMP officers conducted a drug bust just north of 100 Mile House on June 17.

Police seized close to 50 pounds of drying marijuana, close to 500 marijuana plants, several firearms, more than $7,000 in cash, a pickup truck and an ATV from the large indoor grow operation, while a small secret lab to manufacture butane honey oil was also discovered, according to an RCMP media advisory.

The search warrant was executed at around 10 a.m. on Abel Road near 105 Mile by an investigation team comprised of RCMP members from 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Kamloops and the Lower Mainland.

The property had one medicinal marijuana licence, which police believe was used to facilitate an illegal drug operation.

Four males were placed under arrest for the production of a controlled substance. They have been released on a promise to appear in 100 Mile House Provincial Court on Nov. 10.

RCMP continues its investigation into the matter.
