The B.C. government seeks to seize two Surrey homes allegedly linked to drug trafficking after a major RCMP investigation and court filing.
Provincial Action Targets Alleged Drug-Linked Properties
The B.C. government has filed court documents to seize two homes in Surrey, alleging the properties were used in a large-scale drug trafficking operation. The notice of civil claim, submitted to the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver on October 16, 2025, targets homes owned by Aneeza Rehnaaz Ali, Mohammed Saaiyad Ali, and another unnamed individual.
Properties Under Investigation
The residences in question are located in the 12000 block of 56A Avenue in Panorama Ridge and near 82A Avenue and 151A Street in Fleetwood. According to court filings, Aneeza Ali owns the Panorama Ridge property, while Saiyad Ali and another person hold the Fleetwood home.
RCMP Investigation and Arrests
An RCMP investigation launched in February 2025 by the Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit uncovered what police allege was a drug trafficking operation run by Saiyad and Aneeza Ali. On September 10, 2025, officers arrested both individuals for trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Evidence Seized During Search
When officers executed a search warrant at the Fleetwood property, they reportedly discovered 21 kilograms of methamphetamine, 15 kilograms of fentanyl, and 10 kilograms of cocaine. Investigators also seized evidence of drug production and packaging, including industrial mixing equipment, masks, and detailed score sheets.
Government Seeks Civil Forfeiture
The Director of Civil Forfeiture claims the properties were used as “instruments of unlawful activity” and as a means to launder proceeds from drug sales. The filing alleges the owners failed to declare taxable income and converted the profits into real estate holdings, effectively using the homes to conceal illicit gains.
Police and Legal Process Ongoing
BC RCMP spokesperson Sergeant Vanessa Munn said that while no criminal charges have been laid yet, investigators have submitted a comprehensive report to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada for review. “We are continuing to work closely with prosecutors to ensure all evidence is fully considered,” Munn stated.
