Campbell River RCMP Seize Crack Cocaine, $77k in Raid - Greenwood Boundary Creek Times
Police seized 4.5 kilograms of marijuana, suspected cocaine and crack cocaine, plus more than $77,000 after a three-month drug probe.
On July 9, 2026, Campbell River RCMP executed a search warrant in the 500 block of South Alder Street, seizing 4.5 kg of marijuana, more than 225 grams of suspected cocaine, 10 grams of suspected crack cocaine, and more than $77,000 in cash.
Following a three-month investigation into drug trafficking, the Campbell River RCMP Street Crime unit coordinated with general duty, major crime, and police dog services to execute the warrant.
During the search, officers discovered 4.5 kg of marijuana alongside more than 225 grams of suspected cocaine and 10 grams of suspected crack cocaine, confirming the trafficking operation.
Two Campbell River residents—a 62-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman—were arrested and released, with their first court appearance scheduled for Oct. 5, 2026.
RCMP spokesperson Const. Maury Tyre called the operation an 'excellent example' of efforts to remove illicit drugs from the street, while police ask anyone with information to contact Campbell River RCMP.
