Three Whistler men were arrested and face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking after calling the RCMP to their home to report a home invasion.
According to the RCMP, they received a call from a Whistler address about an intruder, and when officers arrived the intruder had already left the premises. The officers noticed a strong smell of marijuana in the house, and a search warrant was subsequently executed which resulted in the discovery of 15 pounds (7 kg) of marijuana.
RCMP believe the home invasion was related to the quantity of drugs in the house.
All of the males have been released from custody on an undertaking from the Justice of the Peace. Names are being withheld pending further investigation.
