Surrey RCMP has seized a significant stash of drugs, over $200,000 in cash, and a firearm after a search warrant execution at a residence in Guildford.

On September 6, 2020 shortly after 1:30 a.m., Surrey RCMP was called to a report of a break and enter in progress at a residence in the 10600-block of 140 Street.

The suspects had fled prior to the arrival of Frontline officers however, officers located evidence of a break and enter.

As the investigation in the break and enter progressed, officers located a large quantity of drugs and cash inside the residence.

Investigators obtained and executed a search warrant at the residence later the same day and seized numerous items including suspected crystal meth, heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, and a drug-cutting agent. Officers also located and seized over $200,000 in cash, as well as a firearm and ammunition.

Our officers are always prepared for the unexpected when responding to files, says Superintendent Manly Burleigh, Surrey RCMP Operations Officers. In this case our frontline officers were responding to a report of a break and enter which turned into a large drug and cash seizure.

No arrests have been made at this time however, the investigation is ongoing.
