Kelowna RCMP seized more than $20,000 in counterfeit Canadian currency during a raid in July, along with a “substantial” quantity of the fake security holograms believed to have been used in the manufacturing of the bogus bills.

The raid on a residence in the 3100 block of Shannon Place in West Kelowna also netted seven firearms, ammunition, and drugs police believe include cocaine, MDMA and ketamine.

One man was arrested at the residence and taken into custody. He hasn’t been identified publicly as official charges have yet to be sworn in by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
