  • Leader of BC United Kevin Falcon appalled over drug trafficker arrest

B-C United Leader Kevin Falcon says he’s appalled with the arrest of an alleged drug trafficker operating a mobile illegal narcotics dispensary in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. 

Falcon called on Premier David Eby and members of his cabinet to denounce the alleged activity as completely unacceptable.

Vancouver police arrested a 51-year-old man for selling cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin out of a trailer parked in one of the neighbourhood's main intersections.

Constable Tania Visintin says in a news release that the department supports measures that include harm reduction services and decriminalization, but drug trafficking is still subject to enforcement.
