A seven-month police operation has busted a Richmond drug operation.

Known as the “Kevin Drug Line,” on the streets, the ring was shut down last week, resulting in the arrest of three men.

Fernando Oraha was charged with one count of trafficking cocaine and one count possession for the purposes of trafficking (PPT) in cocaine.

While Daylen Fairley has been charged with one count of PPT cocaine and Amir Khatan has been charged with PPT Cocaine and two firearms offences.

All accused were in Richmond Provincial Court on Oct. 24. Fairley’s next appearance is Oct. 31, while Oraha and Khatan will appear Nov. 28 in the same court.

Richmond RCMP said four search warrants were executed last week, which led to the arrests.

Police seized several thousand dollars in cash, cocaine and crack cocaine, drug trafficking materials and a loaded firearm. 

Two high-end vehicles were also seized in connection with the operation, which police say sold cocaine and crack cocaine to addicts in Richmond.
