Police say a two-year investigation into an organized crime group has led to charges linked to drugs and firearms against a pair of men, one from Burnaby, and another from Surrey.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit says investigators executed two search warrants leading to the seizure of items including a loaded semi-automatic handgun, a rifle, 200 rounds of ammunition and drugs such as cocaine and heroin, along with over 100,000 dollars in cash.
The unit says the money, as well as three vehicles and jewelry from a home have been referred to the province's civil forfeiture office.
A 32 year old man from Burnaby and a 59 year old man from Surrey have been charged and are awaiting their next court appearance.
