NANAIMO — Bail has been granted to man linked to a drug bust at a south Nanaimo home where a grenade was found.

Patrick Lussier was released from custody on $10,000 bail this week to the supervision of the New Vision Society – a recovery house in Surrey.

He faces a long list of drug trafficking and weapons offences, according to Nanaimo Law Courts records.

According to Nanaimo RCMP Const. Gary O’Brien, Lussier is alleged to be involved in a bust at a Machleary St. home last Sept. 7. During the raid, police said they found drugs, including cocaine, fentanyl and crystal meth.

The search was abruptly stopped after police at the time said a grenade was found in the home. The RCMP’s Explosive Device Unit was called in to remove the device, which was later deemed inoperable and posed no public threat.
