RCMP in Surrey B.C. made a big drug bust that they describe as a highly sophisticated operation with multiple ledgers and databases of customers and clientele information. The property in Langley was an unlicensed commercial business specializing in the sale of cannabis plant seedlings, also known as clones.

Surrey’s Drug Unit says this bust shows how buying cannabis from illegal sources will put guns and cash into the hands of criminals.

Back on June 23 officers from the drug unit pulled over a vehicle believed associated with a property possibly linked to drug trafficking.  The driver was arrested; one kilogram of dried cannabis was seized as well as $35,000 cash.

Search warrants were then executed at a commercial property and at a home.  Police seized five firearms, including two handguns. Police also located 7,668 cannabis clone plants, 32 kilograms of prepackaged cannabis, 1,150 preloaded cannabis vape pens, 1,250 THC infused butter containers (cannabis resin), five bricks of hashish, and two boxes edible cannabis products. There was also more than $30,000 in cash seized between the two locations.

Two men and one woman were arrested, and later released pending further investigation. Police also located two young children, a newborn baby and a two-year-old at the home. The Ministry of Children and Family Development has been engaged to ensure the safety of both children.
