Federal police in B.C. bust fentanyl labs, seize chemicals and equipment
SURREY — Federal police in British Columbia dismantled three drug labs last month in the Lower Mainland cities of Pitt Meadows, Mission and Langley, and one of two suspects arrested has an advanced degree in organic chemistry, the RCMP says.
Police displayed a table of drugs and lab equipment seized in the investigation at a news conference at RCMP headquarters in Surrey, B.C., on Thursday.
Mounties said they arrested two suspects, but no charges have been laid as the investigation continues.
Police celebrated that the operation prevented “several million” doses of fentanyl from being made and distributed across the country.
