Salmon Arm RCMP conducted a pro-active traffic blitz over the weekend of April 19-20th, 2025. Multiple vehicles were stopped around the Salmon Arm downtown area for various motor vehicle act infractions.
Salmon Arm RCMP seized numerous drugs from five vehicles. In total, 37 grams of suspected fentanyl, 30 grams of suspected cocaine, 128 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 34 grams of suspected ketamine, 23 grams of suspected MDMA (ecstasy), and 355 pills of both prescription and non-prescription drugs were seized. All the drugs seized, excluding the 355 pills, have an approximate street value of $5000.
Salmon Arm RCMP continue to target local drug traffickers, as well as other suspicious vehicles. While this was a focused traffic blitz, these traffic stops for motor vehicle act infractions have resulted in removing drugs off the streets of Salmon Arm. Great work by our local police officers to continue keeping our community safe, stated media relations officer Cst. Andrew Hodges of the Salmon Arm RCMP.
