New wheels, Five arrested in Cranbrook new freedom
Three drug search warrants executed simultaneously CPL. C. NE WEL For the Bulletin
RCMP executed three search warrants in Cranbrook simultaneously Friday morning (Dec 4) resulting in the arrest of five persons and seizure of drugs, cash and a firearms. An investigation by the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction unit linked several persons and three locations
together known to be trafficking in drugs. Three search warrants were obtained under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act. Over twelve officers from Cranbrook, Kimberley, Police Dog Service and Forensic Identification Services executed the warrants at the same time to avoid subjects alerting others of police action. Two warrants were for residences on Standard Hill Road, one was for a residence on 12th Street N in Cranbrook Once inside the residences officers seized Cocaine, Fentanyl (disguised as Oxycontin),
several thousand dollars, several firearms, one loaded and evidence to support trafficking charges. Five males have been arrested. One of the subjects was on parole and had been released from jail only a few weeks ago. He was in possession of a knife and bear spray at the time. One subject has been released for court in the new year the others will be appearing before a Judicial Justice of the Peace by way of telephone conference later today. See ARRESTED, Page 3

Bulletin readers will recall a fundraiser held for Christopher Green to help him buy a new motorized wheelchair. The fundraiser at the Bean Tree was successful and Christopher received his new wheelchair in November, and is thrilled with it.
Plan ahead. Check weather and road conditions, make sure your vehicle is winter ready and drive for the conditions. Know before you go.

“I was even able to afford secure mounts for both my phone and iPad which offers me new degrees of freedom because I’m not tied to a table if I need to get online. You have no idea how few wifi hotspots actually have a spot I can actually work comfortably at, now my chair is that spot. It’s a blast!”
