They say that the department conducted an investigation into the men, which included executing search warrants in Delta and Richmond in November 2022.

Police say that officers seized illegal drugs, cash and four firearms in their search.

Initially both of the men were released pending further investigation but the department says they have now been arrested, charged and will remain in custody.
