Three Kelowna residents were busted in Penticton Thursday for PCP possession.
Two men and a woman were arrested on the 300 block of Riverside Drive. Officers nabbed one male with a "substantial" amount of PCP. He was released and its anticipated he'll be charged later with trafficking and possession. What is unusual is the PCP itself. This is believed to be the first seizure of the drug in the South Okanagan in recent history.
PCP was much more common in the 70s and 80s.
The other man and woman had crack cocaine and heroin and face charges of possession and trafficking. All three have criminal records.
