Sooke RCMP has arrested two individuals following a drug trafficking investigation.
On February 1, 2024, Sooke RCMP received information about possible drug activity in a parking lot in the 6700 block of West Coast Rd in Sooke. Police responded to the area and located the two suspects matching the description provided.
Both individuals, a 58-year-old man of Esquimalt and 48-year-old woman of no fixed address, were arrested. A subsequent search incidental to their arrest yielded approximately 2 lbs of suspected methamphetamine, over 80 suspected Dilaudid pills and a small bag of suspected cocaine.
The prompt arrests of those individuals were possible due to the watchful eye of a concerned citizen said Staff Sergeant Greg Willcocks, detachment commander of the Sooke RCMP. The Sooke detachment will continue to target drug traffickers and prolific offenders in our community.
