Massive drug cooking operation found by police in Lumby, B.C.

BY , Oct 26, 2020 11:12 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

One of the largest illicit drug labs ever found in BC has been raided in the north Okanagan.

RCMP say the lab in Lumby was busted earlier this month and five BC men and an Alberta man are charged, but two of the BC suspects haven't been caught, although the other four men are expected to appear in a Kelowna courtroom tomorrow.

Police say large quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl were seized in the October 19th raid, along with hundreds of litres of chemicals and enough waste material to put area residents at risk and cause serious contamination to nearby farms.

Removal and disposal of the chemicals is expected to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
