Police in the Tri-Cities have arrested a Coquitlam man following a months-long investigation into reports of drug dealing through Facebook.

Port Moody police said Friday that the 37-year-old’s arrest last week is the culmination of a probe that began in the spring of 2019, when the department received a report that illegal substances were being advertised on Facebook, with delivery typically arranged through messaging apps.

The investigation led to a Jan. 23 raid of a Coquitlam home, where police found a psilocybin cultivation lab, a small marijuana growing operation, and a cache of drugs, including mushrooms, cocaine, LSD, steroids and several powders that police have been unable to identify.

Investigators also found sheets of what are believed to be LSD paper decorated with cartoon characters like Scooby-Doo. The blotting paper used in the manufacture of LSD tabs is often imprinted with cartoon characters.
