Five charged after Metro Vancouver drug lab bust: RCMP
SURREY, B.C. – Mounties in Metro Vancouver say five men have been charged following an investigation that resulted in the dismantling of a large and sophisticated synthetic drug lab.
RCMP say they began the probe in 2022, leading to the identification of people suspected of being involved in the production and trafficking of the drug MDMA.
In August that year, RCMP say their clandestine laboratory enforcement and response team executed four search warrants in Maple Ridge and Coquitlam, B.C.
They say officers found a synthetic drug “superlab” capable of producing multiple kilograms of MDMA per cycle, and seized 49 kilograms of the drug.
The Mounties say five men were arrested at the scene and they had court appearances set for Wednesday to face multiple drug-related charges.
Police didn’t provide further details on the alleged offences.
