Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 May, 2023 10:10 AM

Four people have been arrested and about 13-million-dollars in drugs have been seized as part of an ongoing investigation by Vancouver Police.

Police say the drug seizures happened in March, when officers executed search warrants at various downtown locations.

They say a total of 14 kilograms of fentanyl, 12 kilograms of cocaine, 17 kilograms of methamphetamine and 73 kilograms of M-D-M-A was seized, along with four firearms and more than 190-thousand-dollars in cash.

Police say they conducted the first phase of the investigation in November, which led to the seizure of 3-million dollars in drugs and guns -- including more than 88 kilograms of illicit drugs.
