2008-05-01 13:57 PDT RCMP News Release
RCMP Drug Section members are currently on site and investigating an illegal methamphetamine lab in a rural area just east of Lumby, B.C. The RCMP Clandestine Lab Response Team and South-East District (Kelowna) Drugs will remain on scene for up to another two days while the illegal lab is carefully dismantled. These sites are extremely dangerous, requiring specialized equipment and training in order to seize and transport the evidence. RCMP members are being assisted by the Lumby Fire Department, B.C. Ambulance, and Health Canada chemists. The search warrant was executed in the 200 block of Bear Valley Road last evening after a lengthy and complex investigation. Two people have been arrested and face charges. The first is a 40 year old male and the second is his 31 year old female partner. Their names will be released once charges are approved by a Federal Prosecutor. Both were known to police. The pair was involved in the large scale manufacturing of crystal meth. The drugs being produced were for financial gain, not personal use. Crystal Meth is extremely addictive and can be smoked, ingested or injected. Its extreme addictiveness has ravaged lives and Canadian communities from Coast to Coast.
