Organized crime investigators in British Columbia say a multi-month effort against a drug-trafficking operation has yielded the discovery of multiple kilograms of illicit drugs in Metro Vancouver.
Police say the investigation began last October against the group that’s suspected of supplying illicit drugs in places including Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey and Richmond.
