  • Drug trafficking arrest in Prince George

Prince George R-C-M-P say a man has been arrested following an investigation into alleged drug trafficking at a local residence. 

Mounties say the man was seen leaving his home in a stolen vehicle during an investigation last week and officers later arrested the driver, who was identified as 42-year-old James Alan Webb.

Police say suspected illicit drugs were found in the vehicle and at the residence, including what is believed to be fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine.

Webb will remain in custody until his next court appearance.
