DEALERS HANDED OUT BUSINESS CARDS TO SECONDARY STUDENTS

Surrey RCMP have shut down a blatant drug-dealing operation at
Johnston Heights secondary school where police say the accused
traffickers were handing out business cards to students.

The drug squad, acting on information from students, said it arrested
two males, ages 21 and 23, and seized four ounces of crack cocaine and
more than a pound of marijuana -- a combined estimated value of about
$10,000. They also seized $1,600 in cash. Police learned of the
operation through the school's RCMP liaison program.

"I think it's a concern to everybody, not just the board," said Surrey
school board chairwoman Laurae McNally.

Despite the troubling nature of the case, however, she saw a silver
lining.

"I was pretty impressed that it was students at the school that turned
them in," she said.
