Drug Shack Bust in P.G.
Prince George, B.C. -Two men and three women will have a date in court as a result of a drug investigation at a residence in the 1800 block of Spruce Street.
Prince George RCMP along with members of the Police Dog Services Section, and Drug Task Force Section executed a search warrant on the home last Saturday afternoon.
The search resulted in the seizure of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, MDMA ( ecstasy) prescription drugs and drug trafficking paraphernalia.
Thirteen people inside the residence at the time were arrested, of which a 20 year old male, 34 year old male, 35 year old female, 32 year old female and 41 year old female were released on a Promise to Appear for court in November of this year. The others, including a 14 year old girl and 15 year old boy, were released without court documents pending further investigation.
Police say the search warrant was the result of information provide to them by people in the neighbourhood who are committed to clearing their neighbourhood of this kind of activity.

I always love the ———— they are out promising to return for their trial date and then we spend more money looking for them because they did not show
Do you have any real statistics, catlover, on how often people released on a Promise to Appear do not show up?
I can’t help but wonder about the 14 year old & 15 year old. How did they get into such a messy life? Sad thing !
The cost of keeping them in custody till November would cost way more
To bad we could not farm this out to the lowest bidder..say Mexico
Interesting point X-it, and people seem to agree with you – myself included. In fact, I’d love to see a survey done on how Canadians feel about exporting criminals to be housed in a lower cost jurisdiction – say Mexico. I suspect a majority would support it.
Then, I’d like someone to explain to me why the same Canadians who voted in favour of exporting prisoners, would blow a gasket if instead someone opened a low cost prison in Canada, and staffed it with Mexican prison guards and maintenance staff. The only real difference is where the building is located.
They keep busting the dealers and users but seem to avoid getting the suppliers. I used to have suppliers living next door. Any time calls to the cops were made about suspicious activity they always showed up 5 minutes after everyone had left.
Ski, ever heard of Rock and a Hard Place, or damned if you do, damned if you don’t?
Be interesting if this idea is being tossed around, god forbid Civil Libertarians (BCCLA) got hold of it. They’d be aghast that some common sense folks think that’s a good idea. LOL
