Two people were arrested and later released after police searched home on Upper Bayview Road for drugs, according to RCMP.

Police seized what they’re calling a “significant” quantity of evidence they allege to be connected to crime, including cash and vehicles.

"Our team is focused on public safety and in this particular investigation, we had concerns about organic solvent extractions from cannabis marijuana plant materials, and the trafficking of these highly potent marijuana products" stated Sgt. Jeff Shore in a news release on July 5.

"The process of producing marijuana extracts is highly dangerous, even in controlled environments. These extractions can place the producer, neighbours and first responders at extreme risk."

Officers say on July 4 at 8 a.m., the Sea to Sky GIS along with the Clan Lab, LMD Emergency Response Team, and the Forensic Identification Section executed a drug search warrant.

The Sea to Sky GIS team continue their investigation and ask anyone with any information regarding the this investigation are asked to contact the Squamish RCMP at 604-892-6100, contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or go to www.solvecrime.ca.
