4 people arrested in drugs seizure

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Nov, 2023 09:44 AM
  • 4 people arrested in drugs seizure

Mounties in North Vancouver say officers arrested four people and seized large amounts of illicit marijuana and psilocybin -- also known as magic mushrooms --following a report of a kidnapping at a warehouse earlier this week.

The R-C-M-P say they received a report that a man was being held at the warehouse after being kidnapped at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon.

They say the warehouse appeared to have been the site of a drug-trafficking lab where drugs were stored and packaged to be shipped and sold on the streets -- but the investigation so far hasn't yielded any evidence pointing to a kidnapping. 

A statement from Constable Mansoor Sahak says police believe the kidnapping report was a so-called "false flag" aimed at targeting the lab.
