  • 6 people arrested in Port Hardy drug bust

Police in Port Hardy say they've arrested six people in a drug investigation after seizing guns, and suspected fentanyl and cocaine, after executing a pair of search warrants over the weekend. 

Port Hardy R-C-M-P say there's been a recent uptick in overdose deaths in the north island community. 

They say the investigation started at the beginning of March, and the searches also led to the seizure of a handgun and a shotgun. 

Mounties say they'll now be forwarding a report to prosecutors for charge approval.
