  • Quantities of suspected cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl and gamma-hydroxybutric acid (GHB)
  • Canadian currency
  • assorted ammunition
  • several firearms and tasers (CEW)

  • drug paraphernalia and drug producing equipment

Bradley Pearce and Cassandra Kopp were both charged with 22 offences, some of which include:

  • Trafficking in cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl and GHB
  • Possession of a prohibited weapon
  • Unsafe storage of a firearm

RCMP say Pearce was also charged with several failure to comply with probation orders.
