The trial of a Surrey man arrested in September 2013 and charged with 13 drug and firearms offences is set to be heard over eight days in the spring of 2017.
According to court records, the proceedings against Pete William Cameron are to take place April 3-6 and 10-14 next year in Surrey Provincial Court.
Charges against Cameron and a Surrey woman were announced in June 2014 by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.
At that time, officials detailed an investigation into an alleged drug trafficking and gun-sale operation that resulted in the arrest of three people on Sept. 11, 2013.
According to a news release, upon arrest, officers seized individually wrapped crack cocaine and ‘spit balls’ of powder cocaine and heroin, as well as $630 in cash. Subsequent searches of two South Surrey residences – on Croydon Drive and in the 17000-block of 26 Avenue – yielded two large safes containing four semi-automatic handguns; cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine; and $25,000 cash.
Cameron, who was 28 at the time of the arrest, is charged with seven counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, four counts of possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition, one count of altering/defacing firearm serial number and one count of possession of firearm, etc contrary to order.
Surrey resident Amy Teresa Pierre – 23 at the time of arrest – is next due in court on March 31 in connection with the file. A second woman arrested at the same time was not charged.
