On June 13th, 2024, at 4:25 pm, an officer with the Nanaimo RCMP’s Special Investigations/Targeted Enforcement Unit saw a male, who the officer knew was prohibited from operating a motor vehicle, park and exit from the driver`s side of a Chevrolet truck.
The officer arrested the male for breaching the conditions of his bail order. The officer did a pat down search of the driver and found a bottle of pills that the officer believed were illicit prescription drugs. The male was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
From a visual scan of the front and back seats of the vehicle the officer could clearly see bottles of drugs in the truck. He subsequently conducted a more thorough search of the front and back seats of the vehicle and found a loaded 12 gauge shot gun, a replica firearm, thousands of dollars in cash, several ounces of Fentanyl and hundreds of pills suspected to be illicit prescription opiates.
44-year-old Roger Ian Der of Nanaimo has been charged with 15 counts of weapon and drug related charges including: Possession of a firearm contrary to his probation order, careless storage of a firearm, five counts of trafficking and fail to comply with his probation order.
