Traffic stop in Surrey nets 3½ kg of fentanyl, cocaine and meth
Two people were arrested after more than three kilograms of illicit drugs were found in a vehicle, police say.
Officers with B.C.’s anti-gang unit, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C., pulled the car over March 24 as part of an enforcement effort.
During the search, officers found 3.5 kilograms of drugs in bulk and vacuum-sealed bags. The drugs seized included nearly 1.3 kilograms of fentanyl in purple, yellow and red, about one kilogram of cocaine and 1.15 kilogram of methamphetamine.
One person was found to be in violation of study-permit conditions and remains in Canada Border Services Agency custody. Another person was issued a speeding ticket and received a seven-month driving prohibition.
Sgt. Sarbjhit K. Sangha, spokeswoman for the CFSEU, said the seizure represents a “significant financial blow to organized crime.”
No charges have been laid and the investigation is continuing.

Abbotsford police find van with more than 20 catalytic converters
Abbotsford police are crediting a vigilant bystander with helping officers find a minivan packed with suspected stolen catalytic converters.
Police say the citizen called police just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday to report a man using an electric saw to cut exhaust pipes from vehicles in the area of Whatcom Road and Highway 1. Officers arrived within six minutes and arrested a man who matched the description provided by the caller.
More than 20 catalytic converters were found inside a nearby minivan associated with the suspect.
Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Walker said the man has been released pending further investigation as police work to identify the catalytic converters, link them with specific thefts, and canvass for additional victims.
“Further investigation will focus on determining which catalytic converters in the suspect’s possession were, in fact, stolen,” he said.
