Inuvik RCMP recently responded to a wellbeing check that turned into a full drug trafficking investigation.
The RCMP received the call on June 13th, asking to check in on an individual who had not been heard from in several days. When officers arrived at the apartment, they found several items and materials that are consistent with drug trafficking activities.
Multiple people were taken into custody as the officers received a warrant to search the premises. They discovered $3,700 in cash, as well as some cocaine, and other drug trafficking supplies.
After the investigation, 27-year-old Jordan Burgher of Ontario was charged with trafficking cocaine, and possession of property obtained by crime. He will be making an appearance in Inuvik Territorial Court on July 30th.
