A 20-year-old woman is free on bail and police are looking for her 29-year-old boyfriend in connection with a block of cocaine seized from a home on Pebble Crescent in Sechelt.
According to Const. Andy Cook of the Sunshine Coast RCMP, no one was home when he and other officers executed a search warrant at the home on Aug. 5. During the search they found five half-gram packets of crack cocaine and almost an ounce of uncut cocaine, as well as a scale, a prohibited weapon and a small amount of marijuana.
Shaundra Polson was arrested later that day and charged with six crimes: possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of crack cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of marijuana, possession of a prohibited weapon, failing to comply with her bail conditions by possessing scales and failing to comply with her bail conditions by possessing a weapon. The bail conditions date from July 2004, when she, her boyfriend and several others were arrested during a raid on a house in Wilson Creek where police seized cocaine and a stolen rifle. That case is scheduled for preliminary hearing Feb. 27, 2006.
Polson was held in custody until her bail hearing in Sechelt provincial court Aug. 9. Judge William Rodgers freed her on bail again, this time with the condition that she have no contact with her boyfriend. The judge ordered her to live with a relative on the Sunshine Coast and not to possess weapons, cell phones, pagers or scales.
