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.

Migrant advocates urge federal government to withdraw proposed border security law

Migrant rights organizations are urging the federal government to abandon Bill C-12, legislation they warn could severely limit access to Canada’s refugee system. The proposed border security bill is currently before House of Commons committees, with clause-by-clause review scheduled at the national security committee this week. The bill features several significant changes to immigration and asylum procedures, including a provision that would prevent people who have lived in Canada for more than a year from submitting a refugee claim to the Immigration and Refugee Board.

Search continues for grizzly after Bella Coola school group attacked, Nuxalk Nation raises support funds

British Columbia conservation officers say they are continuing to search the Bella Coola Valley for the grizzly bear involved in a sudden attack on an elementary school group last week. Three students and a teacher were hospitalized on Thursday after the bear charged a group of about 20 people who had stopped for lunch during a field trip. Officials now believe the incident likely involved a mother grizzly with two cubs, a situation that can increase defensive behaviour. Conservation officers have placed traps in the area and are urging residents and visitors to avoid nearby forested trails wh

Snowfall warning in southeastern B.C. as weekend storm drenches south coast

Environment Canada is cautioning travellers in southeastern British Columbia as a winter storm brings up to 20 centimetres of snow to the Elk Valley region near the Alberta border. The agency says the heaviest bands are expected around Fernie, with conditions easing later this evening as the system moves east. The advisory stretches across Alberta’s southern boundary with the United States and into parts of southern Saskatchewan. The weather office says the snowfall is tied to a low-pressure system tracking across the Prairies, creating challenging conditions on highways frequently used by t
