Multiple people were arrested inside the residence, several of whom were already known to police.

On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Prince George RCMP’s Downtown Safety Unit and Problem Oriented Policing Team executed a search warrant at a residence on the 300-block of Nicholson Street as part of an ongoing investigation at that location.

Once inside the residence, investigators located a firearm as well as other weapons and ammunition, and approximately ten grams of suspected cocaine, 20 grams of suspected Fentanyl, 30 grams of suspected Methamphetamine, and 55 grams of suspected pharmaceuticals. The weapons and suspected illicit drugs/pharmaceuticals were seized as part of the investigation.

This residence has been the subject of several investigations in the past year, with two previous search warrants executed there in May 2024. Our police officers will continue to keep their focus on those at this residence who continue to cause harm in our community, states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Multiple people were arrested inside the residence, several of whom were already known to police. Those arrested were released later that day, as any potential charges related to the drugs seized are pending further laboratory analysis and are subject to approval by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
