A search warrant executed by the 琉璃神社 RCMP's Proactive Enforcement Unit (PEU) resulted in the seizure of multiple firearms and weapons and the arrest of a man and woman.

On the afternoon of Thursday, March 13, the RCMP and PEU shut down the 1300 block of Sutherland Avenue from Lindahl Street to Pacific Court as they executed a search warrant in relation to an ongoing drug trafficking and firearms possession investigation.

As a result, officers arrested a 41-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man, who were later released from custody pending further investigation.

As Mounties searched the property and surrounding area, they found and seized three handguns, a semi-automatic rifle, ammunition, drugs, drug paraphernalia, and in excess of 25 other weapons including realistic replica handguns, knives, crossbows and brass knuckles. The number of drugs seized and types were not released by RCMP.

"The 琉璃神社 RCMP detachment and its PEU will continue to target, investigate and disrupt local drug traffickers in order to hold those who negatively impact the safety of our community accountable,鈥� stated Investigative Services Officer in Charge Insp. Corey Kilborn.
