Port Alberni police removed $400,000 worth of drugs from the streets over the past few months.
Local RCMP targetted mid-level drug dealers, serving 4 search warrants and arresting 10 people.
Inspector Eric Rochette says officers recovered stolen property along with the drugs.
“We recovered a bunch of stolen property: generators, tools, and firearms as well,” he said. “We seized a fairly large amount of illegal drugs: cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamines, methadone, GHB.”
Rochette says police also seized a handgun, a taser, a replica gun, and many knives and other weapons.
They also seized more than $13,000 in cash and a car they hope to seize and sell to fund future operations.
