On April 11, 2025 Kelowna RCMP Proactive Enforcement Unit (PEU) was on surveillance in the 1200 block of St. Paul Street when observations consistent with drug trafficking were established with a vehicle acting suspiciously.
After observing the driver’s behaviour, a traffic stop was conducted and the sole occupant of the vehicle was subsequently arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking. Over $8,600 in various currency and suspected illegal substances were located in the vehicle.
Following this incident, a search warrant was issued for a residence associated to the driver in the 550 block of Coronation Avenue. Police recovered approximately 3.0 kilograms of cocaine and $14,000 in cash within the home.
“The Kelowna RCMP detachment and it's PEU is dedicated to the safety of the public and targeting the local drug traffickers,” says Cpl. Guillaume Tanguay with the Kelowna RCMP PEU. “Our teams will continue to hold those responsible who negatively impact our community.”
