Abbotsford gang cops have made more arrests of suspects linked to the regional gang conflict.
Abbotsford Police Staff Sgt. Judy Bird said in a news release that two young men were picked up for allegedly trafficking fentanyl and other drugs on June 27 after a APD Gang Task Force traffic stop.
She said the accused, Jonathan Abel Flores, 18, and Cody Anthony McClain, 21, appeared in Abbotsford court Friday on “numerous charges.”
She said police found that pair with five cell phones, $2000 cash, a bag containing 70 pre-packaged pieces of fentanyl and cocaine.
She said the arrest is the third in two weeks of “young people connected to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.”
“The Gang Task Force continues to target their efforts on individuals involved in the Lower Mainland gang conflict and to improve public safety through this targeted enforcement,” she said.
Earlier this week, the APD arrested a 17-year-old who now faces drug charges after allegedly possessing fentanyl as well.
And earlier this month, Akshay Sachdeva, 18, was charged with several trafficking counts.
At the time, the APD said Sachdeva was also linked to gang conflict that first started as a drug turf war in the Townline Hill neighbourhood of Abbotsford.
