North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP found suspected fentanyl or heroin, methamphetamine, a brass-knuckled knife and more than $2,500 in cash while searching a Duncan hotel near Alexander Street last week.

The Sept. 11 search also turned up scales and other drug-trafficking paraphernalia, and several stolen items.

A 31-year-old woman was arrested at the scene.

“This particular business has been the subject of substantial police investigations over the past several years, causing a strain on the area residents and police resources,” Cpl.
