Two people are facing charges related to a drug bust which occurred on March 16 in Campbell River.

RCMP executed a search warrant at a home on Ebert Road, located in the area of Island Highway and Park Road in Campbellton.

Officers seized over $3,000 in cash, 17 grams of crack cocaine, four grams of cocaine, 13 grams of Fentanyl, 316 Hydromorphone pills and other prescription pills. Weapons, a replica firearm and ammunition were also seized from the residence.

As a result of this investigation, a 66-year-old Campbell River woman and a 27-year-old man from the Lower Mainland were arrested in connection with the seizure. They were released and are scheduled for a court date in June.

The home that was searched had been the scene of four suspected drug overdose deaths in the past six years, dating back to 2017.
