A 45-year old Comox Valley man is facing multiple charges after drugs, firearms, and cash were seized after a four month long investigation.

Search warrants were executed on June 16th, on a residence, storage unit, and vehicles. Investigators located multiple firearms, suspected fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine along with packaging, scales, and cash.

The Comox Valley RCMP says the seizure has disrupted criminal activity in the Comox Valley and undoubtedly saved lives.

Inspector Mike Kurvers says several specialized units at the detachment came together to make the arrest, including the Major Crime Unit, Street Crimes Unit, Frontline members, and Integrated Forensic Identification Services.

In total, over 484 grams of suspected fentanyl, over 885 grams of suspected methamphetamine, and over 355 grams of suspected cocaine were seized.

The firearms seized included three handguns and 12 long guns; several of which had been reported stolen.

The investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to call the Comox Valley RCMP at (250) 338-1321.
