“Campbell River is experiencing one of the highest rates of overdose deaths in the province and we’re doing everything we can to remove these toxic drugs from our streets,” said Inspector Jeff Preston, Officer in Charge of the Campbell River RCMP. “We will continue to target drug traffickers who prey on the vulnerable purely for their own profit.”
