Merritt man charged with drug possession

In February, the Merritt RCMP General Investigation Section arrested a male who was unlawfully at large.

“A search following his arrest, led police to find and seize amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine from his person,” said Sgt. Josh Roda.

“On April 30, 2021, the Public Prosecution Service of Canada approved two counts of possession of a controlled substance, under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, against Ernest Loos of Merritt,” added Roda.
