A Port Moody home was the scene of a major drug bust last week by Surrey RCMP.
On Aug. 23, hundreds of doses of suspected methamphetamine, Xanax and powdered cocaine were seized by the Surrey drug unit as part of an investigation into a dial-a-dope line that RCMP say operated in both Surrey and Port Moody.
Police say they had been investigating the dope ring since February, resulting in the execution of a search warrant at a home in the 1100-block of Cecile Drive.
“This house was in Port Moody but drug trafficking from operations like this one affect public safety in communities all over the Lower Mainland, including Surrey,” said Surrey Drug Unit Staff Sgt. Glenn Atkins in a press release. “We will continue to investigate and shut down these dial-a-dope lines in our continued effort to tackle drug trafficking and the violence it is associated to.”
Among the items seized at the PoMo home were 35 suspected Xanax pills, 140 doses of suspected powdered cocaine, a bottle containing 90 doses of suspected GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate), 400 doses of suspected methamphetamine, approximately $600 in Canadian currency as wells as scales, packaging material and drug paraphernalia associated with drug trafficking, police said.
A further 140 doses of suspected meth, 940 doses or suspected cocaine powder was seized in Surrey, and a 2013 Volkswagen Golf sedan was also confiscated.
One man was arrested at the PoMo residence and later released. No charges have been laid and the investigation is continuing.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or contact Crime Stoppers for anonymous reports at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.
