A significant drug bust took place in Williams Lake on June 12, 2025, when the Cariboo-Chilcotin Crime Reduction Unit (CC-CRU) carried out a targeted enforcement operation. The investigation began after officers witnessed a man engaged in transactions consistent with drug trafficking. After his arrest, officers obtained a warrant and searched the man’s residence. During the search, they seized several illicit substances, cash, weapons, and drug packaging materials. Illegal cigarettes were also recovered, which are often linked to organized criminal activities.
The man was released pending further investigation, with the RCMP continuing to probe the case. Authorities stress that this operation is part of their broader efforts to reduce the local drug trade and related crimes. Williams Lake RCMP are working closely with the CC-CRU to ensure the community remains safe. The public is encouraged to report suspicious activity to the RCMP at 250-392-6211 or dial 9-1-1 in emergencies. Community cooperation plays a key role in tackling crime.
