B.C. police seek Nguyen and Vu, charged in major drug bust involving fentanyl, cash, guns, and ties to organized crime. Public urged to provide tips.
British Columbia’s anti-gang unit is calling on the public to help locate two men wanted on drug trafficking charges following an investigation into an organized crime group operating in the province’s Lower Mainland.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) announced arrest warrants for Phi Hoang Nguyen, 32, and Jayson Vu, 29, both of whom face multiple charges tied to illicit drug activity.
Investigation Uncovers Drugs, Cash, Firearm
The probe began in 2023, leading to the search of three properties in the region. Police seized a substantial quantity of drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, MDMA, and ketamine. Authorities also confiscated a firearm, four vehicles, $100,000 in cash, and two high-end watches believed to be connected to the alleged criminal enterprise.
“We remain committed to holding drug traffickers accountable—particularly those who deal in potentially deadly substances like fentanyl,” said CFSEU spokesperson Cpl. Sarbjit K. Sangha.
Charges Approved, Suspects Still at Large
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada approved charges on Tuesday.
- Nguyen faces two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, one count of possessing a loaded or restricted firearm, and one count of tampering with a firearm’s serial number.
- Vu has been charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Authorities Appeal for Tips
Police are urging anyone with information on Nguyen or Vu’s whereabouts to contact local law enforcement or make an anonymous report to Crime Stoppers.
