ѻýKelowna Drug Unit intercepts two Independent Soldiers Gang members with drugsѻý - ѻý, Dec. 21.

ѻýThis investigation targeted a 32-year-old male who is a member of the Independent Soldiers Gang, which uncovered a conduit of drugs being trafficked throughout the Okanagan Valley and directly to some of Kelownaѻýs most vulnerable persons associated to a support shelter in Kelowna.ѻý

ѻýThe search warrant resulted in the seizure of a conducted energy weapon, Canadian currency, what is believed to be fentanyl, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, shatter, oxycontin, methamphetamine, over 1000 various pills, numerous stolen credit cards IDѻýs, passports, and drug paraphernalia.ѻý

Give your heads a shake and forget about building a permanent ѻýWetѻý aka ѻýHarm Reductionѻý facility at 2025 Agassiz Road, Kelowna.

Three predominantly seniors condominium buildings within 70 feet. Two predominantly seniors condominium buildings within 200 feet.

Illicit drug trafficking and using in our neighbourhood does not fly. Under the guise of government housing or otherwise.

Sincerely,

Gordon and Janet Brooks

Kelowna
