Prince George, B.C. – Four people  are facing  drug trafficking related charges in the wake of  a  drug investigation in Prince George.

On the evening of Tuesday May 20th  RCMP executed a search warrant on two  vehicls in a parking lot off Ferry Avenue.

Four persons were initially arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance.  A  35 year old male from Fort St. James, a 37 year old female from Fort St. James, a 28 year old male from Prince George, and a 25 year old female from Prince George.  Search of the vehicles found approximately one ounce of cocaine each.

These arrests and seizures led to the arrest of a fifth person, an adult male currently on parole in Prince George from Vancouver.

Officers arrested the 34 year old near the intersection of Dominion Street and Patricia Boulevard at approximately 6:00 PM the same night.  His arrest led to a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant at his residence on the 4000 block of Campbell Avenue in the early hours of Wednesday May 21st.

During the search of the residence, officers located:

·        Approximately 15 ounces of cocaine (over 4000 single uses)

·        Two litres of GHB (Gamma-hydroxy-butyric-acid) (over 400 single uses)

·        Two ounces of Methamphetamine (over 500 single uses)

GHB is a central nervous system depressant that provides an intoxication similar to alcohol.  GHB is more commonly known as the “date rape” drug,  although there have been no  recent reports of such  sexual assaults in the Prince George area.

A black Dodge Durango has also been seized as part of the investigation.

Drug trafficking related charges are anticipated against all of those arrested, except the male from Fort St. James.  The 34 year old parolee is in custody for breaching parole, the three others have been released and are to appear  in  court at a future date.
