Nanaimo RCMP are looking for a woman wanted on an arrest warrant following a November search of a home near the detachment that led to the seizure of drugs and weapons.
Police searched a home in the 200 block of Milton Street on Nov. 14. They said two suspects were released pending warrant applications.
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada approved charges on Feb. 10 and a 52-year-old man was arrested. Police said they do not know the whereabouts of 39-year-old Charlotte Cargill and a warrant has been issued for her arrest.
Both suspects face multiple drug- and weapon-related charges.
“This investigation highlights the critical importance of street level drug enforcement in our community. The volume of dangerous substances and firearms seized in this case represents a significant threat to public safety, especially given the home’s proximity to essential services and vulnerable residents,” said Insp. Donovan Tait, operations officer for Nanaimo RCMP. “I am extremely proud of the diligent work our drug investigators and supporting officers continue to do each day to disrupt organized drug activity and keep Nanaimo safe.”
Police are asking anyone with information that could help locate Cargill to contact Nanaimo RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.
