A Richmond man is one of four facing charges after an undercover drug trafficking bust.

Jasdeep Singh Dhaliwal, 30, was arrested and charged after an investigation led to the discovery of $50,000 worth of cocaine in a Burnaby home.

The investigation started after a firearm was located in a vehicle, which had been taken in for repair at a Richmond auto dealer. The handgun was then recovered by Richmond RCMP.

The successful conclusion to this investigation can be attributed to the strong working relationships we are developing in the Lower Mainland and throughout the province, said Insp. John Grywinski of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbias ( CFSEU) Gang Task Force and Firearms Team, which led the investigation.

Its more important than ever that a sustained and coordinated approach by law enforcement is necessary when combating gangs and their associates.

During the investigation, several ounces of heroin were seized with a street value of over $50,000. A quantity of cocaine was also seized.

On July 22, 2011, a warrant was executed in the 9800-block of Cameron Road in Burnaby where police found a drug-packaging site containing heroin and crack cocaine.

The other accused, whore facing 14 counts of possession and possession for the purpose of trafficking, are: Burnaby residents Valon Chen, 22; To Lau, 23; and Allen Xuan Ye Zu, 21.
