Mounties say 2 men arrested after another fentanyl 'super lab' found in B.C.

Mounties say two men were arrested after police uncovered the latest drug-manufacturing "super lab" in British Columbia.

Mounties say two men were arrested after police uncovered the latest drug-manufacturing "super lab" in British Columbia.

A statement Wednesday from the Burnaby RCMP detachment says authorities spent six months investigating the operation before executing search warrants at four properties across the Lower Mainland region on Oct. 16 and 17.

One of those properties, a rural farm in Langley, housed what police described as a "super lab" that was allegedly capable of producing multiple kilograms of fentanyl on a weekly basis.

Investigators arrested two men and seized hundreds of kilograms of chemicals used in the production of the potentially deadly drug, according to police.

The other three searches were conducted at residences of suspects believed to be involved in producing the drugs, the RCMP said.

Authorities spent three days dismantling the clandestine lab and disposing of contaminated materials, police said.

The discovery and seizure of the lab occurred just days before Mounties raided what they described as the "largest and most sophisticated" drug-production lab in Canadian history on a rural property in the B.C. Interior.
