Province trying to seize property used to build drug superlab in rural B.C. [Video]

British Columbia’s Civil Forfeiture Office is trying to seize a rural B.C. property that housed what police called the “largest, most sophisticated drug superlab in Canada.”

The civil forfeiture office was created to ensure that people in B.C. don’t profit from unlawful activity.

A notice of civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court alleges that the owner of the Falkland, B.C. property “knew or should have known” about the activity happening on his land and if he didn’t, says he was “willfully blind or reckless to the manner in which the property was used and is likely to be used in the future” and seeks to take control of the land.

Falkland is an unincorporated community about 50 kilometres east of Kamloops, B.C.
