Penticton RCMP raided an apartment on Fairview Road, finding drugs and a loaded rifle.
On Dec. 21 officers executed a drug search warrant in the 900 block of Fairview Road, arresting seven people including two 16-year-old boys. All but two adults, who resided in the apartment, were later released without charges.
