The Prince George RCMP executed three Controlled Drug and Substance Act warrants between April 1st and 8th.
As a result of the efforts, 19 people were arrested and various illicit drugs including Methamphetamine, Crack Cocaine and Fentanyl were seized along with multiple weapons.
On April 1st at 8:35 pm, the first warrant was executed in a basement unit of a residence on the 900 block of Carney Street in relation to a drug trafficking investigation.
Two adults, one male and one female were arrested from within the residence but they were later released pending further investigation.
An estimated 2,500 people took the opportunity to get away their screens and into the great outdoors to take part in 25 activities that made for an Easter weekend afternoon of fun. Cruisers were challenged at Pine Centre Mall and the City Hall/Rolling Mix Concrete Arena parking lots to try to find a character dressed in red and white stripes and wearing thick-rimmed glasses for a Where’s Waldo sighting. A fox on the run was playing hide and seek and posing for pictures from a safe distance at Moore’s Meadow and there was a moose on the loose entertaining the kids at Cpl. Darren Fitzpatrick Bravery Park.
In all, the effort yielded 18 arrests for shoplifting. Two prolific offenders were also charged and sentenced, in part, for breaching their release conditions. Elliott Joseph, 36, was sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to shoplifting and breaching probation and Tyler Sinclair, 34, was sentenced to 28 days after he pleaded guilty to assaulting a peace officer, uttering threats, resisting arrest, obstructing a peace officer and breaching probation. A third, Aaron Glover, 35, has been charged with breaching probation as well as shoplifting. He has since been release on bail pending a future court date. Police also issued one 90-day Integrated Roadside Prohibition (IRP), which comes with a 30-day vehicle impoundment and two of the arrestees were referred to the restorative justice program
