RCMP say they acted on tips from the public and information from other probes to gather enough evidence to detain suspects who were seen allegedly exchanging illicit drugs for safer supply drugs

Items seized by the Prince George RCMP , from what it calls an alleged case of safe-supply drugs being trafficked, are seen in an undated police handout photo.Police in Prince George say they have arrested two people over allegations they were trafficking safe-supply drugs that are prescribed as an alternative to the toxic drug supply in the province.

Insp. Darin Rappel says in a statement that a subsequent search of one of the suspect’s homes revealed more safe-supply prescription drugs, along with suspected methamphetamine and fentanyl. The possible diversion of drugs from the safe-supply program – where those addicted to street opioids are prescribed alternative medications – emerged last month when Prince George police said more such medication was being discovered in trafficking investigations.
