On November 10th, officers executed search warrants at two residences within Abbotsford and Surrey. 3 men in their twenties were arrested and released.

“All three males arrested in this investigation are Abbotsford residents associated with the Lower Mainland Gang Conflict (LMGC). DEU will continue to target known members or associates of the LMGC who operate and sell fentanyl within Abbotsford, leading to overdose deaths within our community,” says Sergeant Mike Hanninen.

During the search of the residences, 1.3 Kilograms of combined Fentanyl, Heroin, Methamphetamine, and Cocaine were seized valued at approx. $200,000. Additionally, three handguns, two of which contained suppressors, and $90,000 of cash were seized.
