Police are continuing their investigation into an alleged drug dealer operating in the area of Ecole Victor Brodeur.
Patrol officers began their investigation last month involving an Esquimalt man after complaints about suspected drug dealing. Officers were granted a search warrant for the man’s residence in the 600-block of Head Street.
Members of the Strike Force Unit and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team assisted with the arrest of the man Tuesdayy in the 100-block of Wilson Street.
The man was found to have a hand gun, ammunition, several knives, and other evidence on his possession. A further search of the residence resulted in the arrest of a woman, revealing amounts of suspected drugs, cash, a loaded shotgun, several replica firearms, and various other weapons including a taser and a crossbow.
10 charges are being recommended to Crown Counsel, and the man is set to appear in court Wednesday.
Additional charges are likely in the coming weeks as officers process all exhibits which were seized.
