Staff Sergeant Sascha Banks said the Whistler RCMP and Sea to Sky GIS team started the drug investigation ten months ago and have worked diligently to nab the suspects. “We want to thank the RCMP teams: IERT, IPDS, and neighbouring detachments for their support last week. Although there was a heavy police presence last Friday, this was to ensure the safety of the Whistler community and the members involved.”
