Kamloops drug bust targets violent crime

CTV is reporitng that "A joint investigation targeting gang activity in B.C. has resulted in the seizure of a smoke grenade, firearms, drugs and cash. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit launched the project alongside Kamloops RCMP in an effort to disrupt and suppress violence associated with those involved in organized crime."

"Mounties said nearly two dozen investigations took place throughout Kamloops between April 5 and 9 — leading to the seizure of more than seven ounces of suspected cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and meth, two firearms, an assortment of weapons, and thousands of dollars in cash."

OK seven ounces of cocaine is not much but addressing street level drug dealing is important. CTV is also reporitng that "'The Kamloops Crime Reduction Unit, UGET, and frontline officers continue to target repeat and violent offenders through joint partnerships,' said Supt. Jeff Pelley in a news release Friday, adding that Mounties will continue their comprehensive enforcement strategies to keep the public safe." That is a good thing.

The uniformed branch of the CFSEU showing off in nightclubs is pretty useless, but this kind of ongoing law enforcement isn't. It's important. Crime never sleeps and it never goes away all by itself. It's something we always have to address. That requires persistent effort.

  1. If they understood how foolish parading through a night club all gear up looked, they wouldn't do it. "Know the room" we could say.

    1. Some of those guys covet the life and like to show off so they can meet girls at the club. It has nothing to do with law enforcement.

    3. Not necessarily. It's also important to go after street level trafficking. They don't carry large qualities on the street to avoid long sentences. They have runners that restock them with drugs. It is however just as important to confront street level trafficking regardless of how difficult and challenging it is.

    5. Why can’t these idiots just sell the shit get the money not have conflict and just kind of divide up territory or come to some sort of agreement? This is so stupid how it gets violent always. They could make the money and not have the problems.

    6. I've said the exact same thing myself many times. The answer is greed. They kill rivals so they can get a monopoly on the market just like the oil companies and the pharmaceutical companies.

  2. Drugs are never gonna go away and I’m all for freedom if someone wants to use hard drugs go right ahead. I’m not into it but I dot. Care what other grown adults do………the thing that bothers me is the public violence I don’t understand why these guys can’t just make the money and keep it moving

  4. You got that right. I’m related to one so sadly watched many. They need a class action suit against government for letting them leave grade 1 and go to grade 2. Problem is always self.

  5. 205 ODs in ONE DAY. On Telegram a Dr said the addicts get AIDS and onset dementia. Makes sense to wipe out a generation
