Comox Valley RCMP executed a search warrant last week at a residence on Hope Road in Cumberland as part of an ongoing drug trafficking investigation.

On Wednesday, May 21st, police arrested two people and seized several different substances believed to be illicit drugs including fentanyl, Canadian currency, a taser, and various items consistent with what investigators believe to be drug trafficking related.

In a release, the Comox Valley RCMP say the execution of the search warrant serves to deliver a clear message, “If you engage in drug trafficking, harbour or invite this type of activity, we will stop you.”

Inspector Steve Mercer, Officer in Charge of the Comox Valley RCMP says the community and its residents are tired of unlawful activities that are occurring in plain sight.

“Cumberland will not tolerate drug trafficking and is closed for business,” he said.

The investigation remains ongoing while police continue to examine all the evidence.
