KELOWNA - Police allege two men arrested with drugs after the search of a Kelowna hotel room may have gang ties to the Lower Mainland.
Kelowna RCMP spokesperson Const. Jesse O’Donaghey said in a media release officers executed search warrants at the hotel room and a pair of vehicles after a three-week investigation where they say they found just over five ounces of heroin, almost nine ounces of cocaine, two and a half ounces of crystal meth and $21,000 cash.
