A Comox Valley man remains in custody and is facing multiple charges following the seizure of a substantial amount of drugs and over a dozen guns, police say.
In a Tuesday release, Comox Valley RCMP said a four-month-long investigation ended with search warrants being executed on a 45-year-old’s home, as well as a storage unit and vehicles.
Over 484 grams of suspected fentanyl, 885 grams of suspected methamphetamine and 355 grams of suspected cocaine were seized, along with three handguns and 12 long guns — several of which were previously reported stolen, according to police.
They say cash, packaging, and scales were also confiscated during the search.
“This seizure has disrupted the criminal activity here in the Comox Valley and undoubtedly saved lives,” said RCMP Insp. Mike Kurvers.
Kurvers says several specialized units, including the Major Crime Unit, Street Crimes Unit, Integrated Forensic Identification Services and frontline officers, were involved in the case.
At this time, the investigation remains ongoing, and investigators continue to gather all available evidence surrounding the procession and distribution of the drugs and guns.
Anyone with information about this or any other criminal activity is asked to call Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321.
