Large fentanyl bust in Mission

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 02 Nov, 2023 01:10 PM
  • Large fentanyl bust in Mission

A call to Mission R-C-M-P about shots fired in the Hatzic Valley has resulted in the dismantling of a large fentanyl operation. 

Police say they were called in October to a report of gunshots heard and when they arrived they found several spent bullet casings, but confirmed no one on the property was injured. 

However, police say there were indications that a building on the property was being used as a drug lab and the then went to court for approval of a search warrant. 

Police say officers found 25 kilograms of pure fentanyl and another three kilos of the drug already cut for the street, although no charges have been approved yet.
