Kilo of fentanyl, loaded gun and cash seized at BC supportive housing facility

Victoria police say a man has been arrested after a search at a supportive housing facility in the city turned up a kilogram of fentanyl, cash and a loaded gun.

Police say it's "particularly concerning" that the weapon and drugs were found at a facility "designed to support the most vulnerable" in the community.

They say police executed the search last Wednesday at the supportive housing facility in the 400 block of Swift Street.

The search resulted in the seizure of fentanyl as well as a loaded nine-millimetre handgun and about $40,000 in cash.

Police say a 62-year-old man was arrested and is being held in custody until his next court date.

Police say the man has outstanding warrants for previous cases in both Victoria and nearby Saanich.
