KELOWNA, B.C. - Four people are facing drug charges and more charges may be coming after the RCMP busted what they're calling a "super lab" that was making ecstasy in the Okanagan.
Police say a year-long investigation led officers to raid a home last week in Westbridge, where they found the lab, and a storage locker in Kelowna where they found chemical precursors used in the production of ecstasy.
Insp. Rick Flewelling of the Kelowna RCMP says the lab appears to have been run by organized crime.
Police say such labs and their chemicals pose huge fire risks and potential hazmat situations to the areas where they're located.
Drug charges have been laid against four Kelowna residents -- 32-year-old Ryan Novy, 29-year-old Alesya Efimenko, 24-year-old William Forrest and 39-year-old Bradley Garth.
Police say more arrests and charges may follow pending further investigation.
