For more than a month the residents monitored cars coming and going from the 1772 Minnie Road bungalow. "They were up in arms," said Sooke Staff Sgt. Don Brown, crediting them for playing a big role in the eventual arrests. "Some people made complaints to us. ... Eventually it came to fruition." It did on Saturday morning when the RCMP executed a search warrant. Three males were arrested and two were still in custody Monday. A 15-year-old boy, who was living under the guardianship of the main cocaine dealer, was released to relatives, Brown said. The RCMP seized 35 grams of cocaine, hundreds of dollars in cash, about 50 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a possibly stolen motorcycle. Brown said charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking are pending, as well as possibly others. He said names could not be released at this time. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
