Four people are facing charges after drugs and stolen property were seized during an investigation by the Valleyview RCMP.

On October 20 police executed a search warrant at a property located south of Valleyview. During their search, officers located five loaded firearms, 11 grams of Methamphetamine/Fentanyl and over $5,000 in stolen property.

RCMP have charged 43-year-old Scott Allan Gervais, 30-year-old Russell Gene Knight, 32-year-old Stephanie Catherine Payou, and 25-year-old Keyva Griko with possession of stolen property under $5,000.

Gervais, Knight and Payou have also each been charged with possession of methamphetamine, unauthorized possession of a firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Gervais, Knight, Payou and Griko have all been released from custody and are scheduled to appear in Valleyview Provincial Court on December 17.

“Those that traffic in illicit drugs destroy lives, homes, and communities,” reads a statement from the RCMP. “The RCMP remains fully committed in building “safe communities” and enforcing laws to their fullest extent, in order to achieve this goal.

“Members of the public who suspect drug activity in their community are encouraged to contact their local RCMP detachment.”
