A man and woman are now facing several drug and firearms charges after anti-gang police raided a White Rock drug lab in early May.
Both Frederic Wilson-Koonpackdee, 46, and Pardeep Grewal, 31, remain in custody until their next court appearance.
The couple lived in a rented home in the 800-block of Parker Avenue, just half a block from the White Rock waterfront.
On May 3, officers with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit arrived at the house to execute a search warrant.

“Upon initial entry into the residence, the CFSEU-BC officers discovered substances and paraphernalia consistent with what is believed to be an illegal synthetic drug lab,” Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said in a release. The RCMP’s special clandestine lab unit was called in to secure the chemicals found in the house.
Houghton said “various firearms and drug-related items were discovered” inside.
Both Wilson-Koonpackdee and Grewal are charged with one count each of possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl and one count each of possession of a prohibited device.
Wilson is also charged with five counts of possession of a firearm and six counts of breach of a firearms prohibition. Grewal is also facing two counts of breach of a firearms prohibition.
Houghton said additional charges against both are expected to be laid.
