Abbotsford police arrest 2 fentanyl dealers in 2 days

Abbotsford police say they have arrested two fentanyl dealers within two days last week.

Police say 40-year-old Michael Bentley was arrested first, on March 13, and is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl, as well as cocaine and heroin.

A search warrant was executed in December at Bentley’s Abbotsford residence, storage locker and vehicle. Officers found various quantities of those three drugs, along with five cell phones and more than $6,000 in cash.

Police say Bentley has outstanding charges from 2016 for the exact same offences.
