"This is a significant drug seizure. We removed potentially 20,000 doses/points of methamphetamine from Green Lake and the surrounding communities," says Cpl. Paul Loder from Green Lake RCMP. "We also seized two imitation firearms – one was a lighter and the other looked and felt remarkably similar to a real handgun. In all, the sharp observation skills of our officer resulted in some dangerous substances and objects being taken off the streets."
