A report of threats involving a firearm in the 6700 block of Sooke Road on Monday led to two arrests, along with the seizure of weapons, cash and illicit drugs.
The drugs included 17.6 grams of suspected fentanyl. 30.5 grams of grams of suspected methamphetamine and 79 grams of suspected benzodiazepines.
“This is another example of the efforts by police to intercept illicit drugs destined for the streets in our community,” said Sgt. Kevin Shaw, acting detachment commander of the Sooke RCMP.
“Drug trafficking in Sooke will not be tolerated and we will continue to prioritize these types of investigations in support of a safe community.”
Sean Patrick Tierney, 25, was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
Jeremy Theodore Tinnion, 35, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Both appeared in court on Tuesday and were remanded in custody pending future court appearances.
Anyone who saw something they believe to be suspicious is asked to call Sooke RCMP at 250-642-5241 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
