Police seek more victims even as two men already face charges related to drugs and sexual exploitation after a search warrant executed in Sooke.

Sooke RCMP initiated a drug trafficking and sexual exploitation investigation In August 2024, based on information that two individuals were taking advantage of young, vulnerable women aged 19 to 22.

Officers executed a search warrant at a Sooke mobile home and arrested two men on April 22.

Police seized illicit drugs, drug paraphernalia and photographs of young women whom investigators believed to be vulnerable victims, RCMP said in a news release.

The men, aged 48 and 51, were released on undertakings with protective conditions until their next court date on July 17.

The investigation remains active, and investigators believe there may be other victims who haven’t spoken to police yet.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sooke RCMP at 250-642-5241.
