An investigation into a drug trafficking operation in the West Shore over the past four months has resulted in the arrest of two men.
There was the execution of search warrants at two residential properties, in each of Colwood and Langford.
The investigation, concluded in late December 2025, was conducted by the West Shore RCMP Crime Reduction Unit in partnership with the Drugs and Organized Crime Unit.
