Multi‑agency probe uncovers cross‑border trafficking network
An investigation that began in April has tied Abbotsford to a suspected drug‑trafficking operation spanning Chilliwack and Langley, resulting in multiple arrests, substantial seizures and fresh criminal charges.
Chilliwack RCMP media relations officer Cpl. Carmen Kiener confirmed the probe identified links to Abbotsford and Langley. Police executed search warrants on June 29 at several locations that included a residence on Glenmore Road in Abbotsford, a storage locker in Abbotsford and a Langley residence on 202A Street.
What investigators seized
Authorities reported the following items recovered during the investigation coordinated by the Chilliwack RCMP, with assistance from the Abbotsford Police Department, Langley RCMP and the Lower Mainland Integrated Response Team:
- 600 g of suspected methamphetamine
- 4.5 kg of suspected cocaine
- 3.5 kg of suspected fentanyl
- 1.1 kg of additional drugs
- Two firearms
- Two vehicles
- Approximately $45,000 in Canadian currency
| Item | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Suspected methamphetamine | 600 g |
| Suspected cocaine | 4.5 kg |
| Suspected fentanyl | 3.5 kg |
| Cash | ~$45,000 |
Those arrests also linked to a separate Abbotsford Police investigation that began in April 2025. That earlier probe yielded further seizures described by police as including carfentanil, cocaine, crystal meth, roughly $60,000 in cash, body armour, a firearm and several loaded magazines.
Charges and ongoing matters
On July 2, Tyler Missen, 36, of Langley was charged in relation to the Chilliwack probe. He faces:
- Three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking
- Two counts of possessing a firearm without a licence
- One count of possessing a firearm contrary to an order
Those charges are in addition to allegations stemming from the April 2025 Abbotsford‑led investigation. Following his June 29 arrest, Missen was charged in that matter with multiple counts including six counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and several firearm‑related offences.
"Investigators determined that the operation also had connections to Abbotsford and Langley," said Cpl. Carmen Kiener.
Police have not laid charges against the two other people arrested on June 29, and investigators continue to review the evidence. No dates for upcoming court appearances were provided in the release.
Local policing and community implications
The seizures underscore persistent public‑safety concerns tied to illicit drug distribution and illegal firearms in the Fraser Valley. For Abbotsford, the investigation illustrates how drug networks can span municipal boundaries and require co‑ordinated responses among multiple police agencies.
Investigations of this scale typically involve lengthy analysis of seized materials and financial records, which can lead to further charges or disruption of additional distribution activity. Police statements indicate collaborative efforts between municipal and integrated teams remain central to tackling cross‑jurisdictional trafficking.
Residents with information related to drug trafficking or illegal weapons are encouraged to contact local police; anonymous tips can also be provided through established community reporting mechanisms.
