Barriere RCMP in conjunction with Clearwater RCMP and Kamloops PDS conducted a search warrant at a local Barriere residence on Friday, July 21.

Inside the residence quantities of various drugs and drug paraphernalia were located.

A small clandestine laboratory was located which police believe was used to make Crack Cocaine.

Three arrests were made at the scene, however as charges have yet not been laid, no names are being provided at press time.

Barriere RCMP also responded to a complaint in which a young female had been using a “Cobra” brand two-way radio in the area of Greentree Estates.

The female spoke on the radio and was answered by an unidentified male voice which invited the young female to attend the Barriere Elementary School to meet him and his dog.

The male asked to meet in five minutes.

Thankfully parents of the young female were with her at the time and took the radio away and prevented the girl from meeting the male.

At this time the Barriere RCMP have no suspects in this incident.

If anyone has any information regarding this or any other crime in Barriere please contact Crime Stoppers at 374-TIPS or Barriere RCMP at 672-9918.
