B.C. Seeks Forfeiture of Cash in Surrey Trafficking Case

The B.C. government has filed a claim to seize $5,625 in cash tied to an alleged human trafficking case in Surrey’s Whalley neighbourhood. Court documents allege a victim was kidnapped in Alberta, brought to a Surrey apartment, given drugs, and forced into escort work. Police responding to the March 20 call reported finding 756 grams of cocaine and later seized cash, drug paraphernalia, and a fraudulent ID. The government says the money represents proceeds of unlawful activity, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering. The case is ongoing, with no charges yet laid.
