Elk Valley RCMP arrested two individuals and seized a vehicle after executing a search warrant at a suspected drug dealer’s residence in the 200 block of Pine Avenue of Sparwood on June 6th.

A seizure of drugs, money and firearms was completed from the individuals involved incidental to arrest as well as from the residence.

The vehicle seized and other assets believed to be proceeds of crime will be turned over to civil forfeiture for their furtherance.

A woman involved was released without charges while a man was released on an Undertaking with conditions related to firearm offences, pending charge approval by Crown Counsel.

The ongoing scene security at the residence was released later that evening.

As the matter is still under investigation, no further details will be released at this time, per Elk Valley RCMP.

"We appreciate the public’s patience during the police investigation and the hard work of our general investigative team and frontline members who worked diligently to complete this successful drug investigation," said S/Sgt. Nielsen, Detachment Commander of the Elk Valley RCMP.
