    On February 28, 2020, officers from the Kelowna RCMP Community Safety Unit (CSU) executed a search warrant at a property located in the 400-block of Hein Road in Kelowna. The warrant was related to an active criminal investigation into suspected drug trafficking in the area.


    In February of this year, Community Safety Unit officers initiated an investigation into drug trafficking involving a residence on Hein Road, states Cpl. Stuart Smith of the Kelowna RCMP. During the search, police seized a quantity of suspected illicit drugs, including heroin, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, GHB, and codeine.


    In addition to the drugs, police seized stolen property including several bicycles, a dirt-bike, and license plates. Prohibited items including body armour, a firearm magazine, and a switchblade were also seized.


    Ten people were initially taken into custody during the execution of the search warrant, including two who had unrelated outstanding warrants for their arrest. The matter will be submitted to Public Prosecution Service of Canada for consideration of charges.
