Police in northern B.C. say they had to evacuate an apartment complex after “fully functional” hand grenades were found while officers were executing a search warrant during a drug investigation.

Prince George RCMP said the incident happened while they conducted searches at multiple locations around the city on June 6 and June 7. The searches were an effort to make a “sizeable dent” in the illegal drug trade in the city, RCMP said in a June 24 release.
