One person was arrested after the June 25 raid at the residence in the 800-block of Pintail Place but has since been released.
Tactical police units from Victoria and Langford seized 20 guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition and 4.5 kilograms of cocaine during a raid on the West Shore home of a suspected drug trafficker last month.
West Shore RCMP’s Emergency Response Team, with assistance from VicPD’s Strike Force and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team, also seized $27,000 in cash and two sets of ballistic armour. The guns ranged from rifles to handguns, with more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition. “I am proud of the officers involved for their hard work and determination in this investigation,” Victoria Police Chief Del Manak said in a statement. “These offenders pose a threat to the safety and well being of our communities, so we will continue our efforts to prevent those that choose to engage in illegal drug trafficking, which fuels the toxic drug crisis in B.C.”
