NANAIMO — Local mounties are searching for a Nanaimo woman with alleged ties to the drug trade.

Casey Lee Stewart is wanted by Nanaimo RCMP on six warrants for charges ranging from drug trafficking to breaching court orders.

Cst. Gary O’Brien from the Nanaimo RCMP told NanaimoNewsNOW their investigation into Stewart stretches several years.

“The first investigation into drug trafficking emanated from a 2018 investigation, then the breaches stem from her missing court appearances and not abiding by her release,” O’Brien said.

The 38-year-old woman of no fixed address is still believed to be in the Nanaimo area.
