Two people faces charges after Chilliwack RCMP made a large seizure of illegal cannabis, cannabis products, shatter, cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms and prescription pills from a Quonset hut on Knight Road.
The investigation into activity surrounding the Quonset hut was initiated by the Chilliwack RCMP Crime Reduction Unit Drug Section (CRU) in December 2019.
On Jan. 23 in the evening, CRU supported by Chilliwack RCMP Property Crime Section and Priority Target Team (PTT) executed a search warrant of the building.
