VICTORIA - Victoria police say a man has been arrested after a search at a supportive housing facility in the city turned up a kilogram of fentanyl, cash and a loaded gun.
Police say it’s “particularly concerning” that the weapon and drugs were found at a facility “designed to support the most vulnerable” in the community.
They say police executed the search last Wednesday at the supportive housing facility in the 400 block of Swift Street.
