Three people have been arrested after police discovered cash, drugs and weapons inside a multi-unit temporary housing facility in Victoria on Sunday night.
The Victoria Police Department said in a press release that officers arrested three people and seized drugs, weapons, and cash after executing a search warrant at a residence in the 100-block of Gorge Road East.
Members of the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team (GVERT) also assisted as the three occupants of the suite refused to cooperate and “barricaded themselves inside, the release notes.
Once the standoff ended, VicPD said their officers discovered and seized several ounces of suspected fentanyl, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, as well as weapons that included brass knuckles. Approximately $5,000 in cash was also discovered in the unit and seized.
The department said it will be recommending several charges of drug trafficking and weapons possession against the three individuals, whose identities were not disclosed, as a result of the investigation.
