File # 2025-4059

Prince George RCMP’s Downtown Safety Unit and Problem Oriented Policing unit stopped two people on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, whom they observed to be actively engaged in drug trafficking outside a local pharmacy.

As part on an ongoing investigation, our police officers were actively engaged in watching for any type of drug trafficking-related activity outside of local pharmacies when they observed the male and female complete what appeared to be hand-to-hand transactions. The pair was stopped and a search incidental to their arrest revealed an assortment of suspected pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs, states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
