A call about someone in an vacant house resulted in police finding more than a squatter.
Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a residence on Highway 97B Sept. 2 after being advised that the home should have been vacant, but someone inside had barricaded the door.
Staff Sgt. Scott West says when police arrived, they found a man unlawfully in the home.
He was arrested on outstanding warrants for failing to comply with a probation order.
“A subsequent search of the male when he was arrested uncovered an imitation handgun, bear spray, a knife and a collapsible baton, along with suspected illegal drugs,” said West.
Police seized what is believed to be fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, heroin, and pills.
The drugs will be analyzed at a Health Canada lab to confirm their exact nature.
“Locally, the quantities seized from the male would be significant,” said West.
The 27-year-old resident of the Salmon Arm area was released pending further investigation of trafficking and weapons offences.
