Prince George RCMP’s Street Crew Unit has made a sizeable dent in the illicit drug subculture in Prince George.

Prince George RCMP’s Street Crew Unit has once again made a sizeable dent in the illicit drug subculture in Prince George, executing search warrants at multiple locations throughout the city on June 6 and 7, 2025.

During the searches, police officers located nearly 20 kilograms combined of suspected cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA and Ketamine; over one dozen cases of contraband cigarettes and several high-powered firearms and handguns with ammunition.

Additionally, investigators located a hand bag with what appeared to be several hand grenades at one of the residences. The Explosives Disposal Unit (EDU) from the Lower Mainland was contacted to dispose of the alleged grenades, which were found to be fully functional.

These findings represent a significant increase to the threat level we are encountering within the illicit drug trade in Prince George. As the hub city for Northern B.C., we are seeing an increase in the amount of drug trafficking through our community, both as a destination as well as a through point for other cities in the area. We will continue working diligently to disrupt drug trade activity, through initiatives such as this one as well as through strategic networking with partner agencies,” states Sergeant Dan Morris, commander of the Street Crew Unit.

We would like to send our thanks to the residents of the apartment complex who were urgently evacuated in the middle of the night when the explosives were located. The evacuations were necessary to ensure residents’ safety and those effected were understanding and cooperative with law enforcement officers throughout the event.
