Prince George RCMP seize meth, fentanyl and guns in dual raids

Two separate drug trafficking investigations in Prince George, British Columbia led to significant seizures of suspected methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, cash and firearms. Officers from the Prince George RCMP executed Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants at two residences in May 2026, targeting suspected street-level trafficking activity.

The first warrant focused on a home on the 3500-block of Fifth Avenue and an associated storage locker on May 29, 2026. A second warrant was carried out at a separate residence on the 4000-block of First Avenue. One person was arrested in each investigation and later released while laboratory drug analysis and charge assessment by federal prosecutors remain underway.

Official RCMP details

According to the RCMP, both files (File #2026-10257 and File #2026-14321) remain active drug trafficking investigations. No charges have been approved at this time, and the individuals arrested have not been publicly identified. The key facts released by police include the following.

First investigation – 3500-block of Fifth Avenue and storage locker

The Prince George detachment notes that information from residents often triggers these types of investigations. Community members are urged to report unusual or suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods directly to the Prince George RCMP or to local detachment lines serving their area. For those unsure which police service covers their community, resources such as national police area and detachment maps can help identify the correct jurisdiction.

CrimeCanada.ca safety perspective

From the perspective of CrimeCanada.ca, these Prince George drug trafficking investigations highlight the ongoing risks that illicit substances—especially fentanyl and methamphetamine—pose to communities across British Columbia. Large quantities of these drugs, combined with the presence of firearms and cash, are consistent with organized trafficking activity that can fuel overdose deaths, associated violence and property crime in surrounding neighbourhoods.

We encourage residents to remain attentive to patterns such as frequent short visits to a home at all hours, heavy foot or vehicle traffic for brief stays, or obvious exchanges taking place in vehicles or on the street. When you see behaviour that appears linked to drug dealing, report it to local police using non-emergency lines, and use emergency services only when there is an immediate threat to life or safety. Community reporting, combined with ongoing monitoring of local data and verified safety alerts, is a key part of our collective effort to reduce drug-related harm and keep British Columbia’s neighbourhoods safer.
