Prince George RCMP’s Downtown Safety Unit and Problem Oriented Policing team have been cracking down on those involved in the illicit drug trade, recently executing a pair of Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrants at two different locations within the city.

The searches were conducted at residences on the 2600-block of Quince Street and the 1600-block of Eighth Avenue on August 27 and 28, 2025. Due to the high-risk nature of these investigations, and the potential for violence from those believed to be living at the two locations, the North District Emergency Response Team assisted in executing the search warrants.

This is the second time in less than a year we have been to the residence on Quince Street, for similar investigations each time, states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

In total, four people were arrested in relation to the two investigations. Three were released without process after the search of the residence was complete; the fourth was arrested on outstanding warrants and held for court. All of those arrested are known to police.

Prince George RCMP will continue to focus targeted enforcement action against those involved in the illicit drug trade.
