VERNON - A man suspected of running a dial-a-dope operation has been arrested by Vernon RCMP.

The 24-year-old Delta man was residing in local hotels and is believed to have been operating what is known as a dial-a-dope drug trafficking operation, Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy says in a media release issued today, March 24.
