Officers found $226,000 in cash and 75 grams of heroin as well as other illegal drugs including Ecstasy.

A 43-year-old Campbell River man was arrested and released and will appear in court April 8 in Campbell River.

On Feb. 15, police seized $159,000 and 11 ounces of cocaine from another residence.
