Nanaimo man convicted in substantial drug raid involving fentanyl, cocaine, meth, cash & weapons
NANAIMO — A BC Supreme Court Justice found a man guilty of shipping notable volumes of hard drugs to local dealers for resale following an undercover police investigation.
Chad Michael Kirk, 37, was convicted on three counts of trafficking fentanyl, cocaine and crystal meth originating from an April 13, 2018 traffic stop seconds after a drug transaction in Nanaimo’s Uplands neighbourhood.
The Honourable Justice Robin Baird said Nanaimo RCMP received confidential source information Kirk was using the street alias ‘Dayton’ to sell drugs locally on behalf of a Vancouver based wholesale distributor and gang member.
“The accused was at the very least an active participant in a brisk, ongoing and significant drug trade in fentanyl, crack cocaine, powdered cocaine, methamphetamine — generating thousands upon thousands of dollars of revenue every day.”
