      On Saturday (February 15), police and other emergency responders were dispatched to the Telus Garden residential high-rise at 777 Richards Street in Vancouver. That's because in one of the apartments, two men were found in medical distress.

      As the men were being transported out of the suite and into waiting ambulances, police noticed a large amount of cash and drugs in plain view. So they obtained a warrant to search the home.

      “Officers located and seized multiple bricks believed to be cocaine, cash, approximately three gallons of an unknown liquid, and several ounces of a substance believed to be MDMA," Sgt. Aaron Roed said in a VPD news release this morning. "The estimated street value of the drugs is several million dollars.”

      Tests will be conducted to confirm that the substances are illegal.

      In addition, around $200,000 in cash was seized.

      No names have been released and no charges have been announced.
