Two individuals were arrested by the Elk Valley RCMP following an investigation at a suspected drug dealer’s residence in the 200 block of Pine Avenue in Sparwood on June 6.
Police seized drugs money and firearms from the residence.
Officers spent a large part of the day in that area and wrapped up the scene at around 10 p.m.
“We appreciate the public’s patience during the police investigation and the hard work of our general investigative team and frontline members who worked diligently to complete this successful drug investigation,” said S/Sgt. Svend Nielsen.
A vehicle and other assets were also seized. Police believe they are proceeds of crime and will be turned over to civil forfeiture.
A woman was released without charges while a man was released on an undertaking with conditions related to firearm offences.
Police say they are pending charge approval from Crown Counsel.
The matter is still under investigation and the detachment says they won’t be releasing any more information at this time.
