Three men, Luis Sandoval, 40, Wesley Huston, 38, and Matthew Huston, 36, have now been charged with possession of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking. The offences are alleged to have occurred in Burnaby, according to court documents. The three accused are scheduled to appear in Vancouver provincial court Wednesday.Supt. Tim Arseneault, the officer in charge of federal policing for drugs and organized crime in the Pacific region, said the investigation involved 60 municipal, provincial, and federal police officers who executed an 'intricate plan' in order to preserve evidence and maintain public and officer safety.
