New West cops seize cash, drugs, vehicles

NewWestminster police seized luxury vehicles, cash, drugs and a loaded firearm after executing two search warrants in New West earlier this month

On March 2, the New Westminster Police Department’s street crime unit executed the warrants as part of a complex drug trafficking investigation that started in September 2022, the NWPD said in a press release

“As a result of the search warrants, the NWPD seized a number of luxury vehicles, a large quantity of cash, a loaded firearm and a large amount of suspected drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl,” the NWPD release said

The street crime unit joined forces with other NWPD specialty units, including the gang suppression unit and crime reduction unit, in the investigation, with support from theVancouver Police Department and the Lower Mainland integrated emergency response team

“The results of this recent project underscore our commitment to focusing our efforts on individuals who are selling and dis- tributing dangerous drugs within our communities,” said NWPD spokesperson Sgt Andrew Leaver “New Westminster Police Department officers continue to take a comprehensive approach to investigating drug trafficking and work closely with our partners to disrupt and dismantle the criminal networks involved in these offences ”
