Burnaby RCMP’s Gang Enforcement Team (BGET) has made seizures of illegal items since the start of 2025, in a crackdown against organized crime and as part of efforts to disrupt gang activity within the community.
BGET members have confiscated over 8 kilograms of suspected illicit drugs, including cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. More than $375,000 in cash, believed to be proceeds of crime, was also recovered along with three firearms, including both prohibited and modified weapons.
Police said during police action four aftermarket hidden compartments were found in vehicles, typically used to conceal contraband.
“These seizures demonstrate the importance and impact of targeted enforcement strategies aimed at organized crime,” stated Superintendent Sunny Parmar, Acting Officer In Charge of Burnaby RCMP. “Every firearm removed from the streets and every kilogram of illegal drugs seized helps make our community safer.”
The RCMP emphasized that these efforts are a key component of the detachment’s ongoing focus on gang-related activity and street-level drug trafficking in the region.
“BGET continues to collaborate with regional partners to monitor gang activity and impede the flow of illegal weapons, drugs, and cash. Investigations related to these seizures are ongoing, and charges are anticipated,” official added.
