A 69-year-old Creston man and a 37-year-old woman from Saskatchewan have been arrested after Creston RCMP executed a search warrant at a home in the 200 block of 16th Avenue North. Brandon Buliziuk said officers recently noticed drug trafficking in the area, including close to Creston Valley Hospital and Kootenay River Secondary, often near gatherings of youth, so police made the matter a priority. He said the man who was taken into custody has previously been arrested for drug trafficking and the woman also has a criminal history. “I remain impressed and very proud of the commitment shown by my officers within the Creston Valley,” Buliziuk said in a news release. “For their efforts, and the support of their loved ones, I am very grateful,” he said.
