On June 18, 2020 members of the Port Moody Police Department arrested a 50 year old female Port Moody resident and executed search warrants on a home in Port Moody and a commercial space in Port Coquitlam.  The warrants were issued after a lengthy investigation into drug trafficking.

Approximately 110 pounds of dried cannabis was found, as was a significant amount of illegal cannabis product (edibles, etc.).  The combined value of the cannabis seized was approximately $390,000.

The cannabis seized is believed to be unassociated to a licensed cannabis retailer and consultation with the Community Safety Unit, the Provincial body responsible for compliance and enforcement under the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act, is ongoing.

Approximately $420,000 in cash was also located over the course of searches and arrest.

Three firearms, two of which were loaded, ammunition, and five vehicles were also seized.

Of note, one of the handguns was concealed inside a hidden compartment that was built into a shelf.

Given the volume of cash and cannabis seized, police believe that this operation is associated to organized crime.

Charges have not yet been approved and this file is still under investigation.
