RCMP say three men arrested in B.C. have ties to Mexican drug cartels
SURREY, B.C. — RCMP federal investigators have arrested three men in British Columbia they believe are connected to a transnational organized crime group connected to Mexican drug cartels bringing cocaine into Canada.
They say officers also seized 23 firearms, several thousand rounds of ammunition and “multi-kilos of illicit drugs” from a home in Surrey, B.C.
They say that on Sept. 23, police executed a search warrant at the home, which was surrounded by compound fencing, steel gates, and razor wire.
Police say they arrested the men for their alleged involvement in the importation of illicit drugs, and weapons-related offences.
