HERMAN Sidhu, 27, and Bhavdeep Deol, 28, have pleaded guilty to drug offences in connection to Abbotsford’s Townline Hill conflict. The two had been arrested in November 2015.

The Abbotsford News reported that Sidhu pleaded guilty to three of the 13 counts of trafficking a controlled substance that he had been charged with. His sentencing hearing takes place on January 8 in Chilliwack.

Deol pleaded guilty to the two counts of trafficking a controlled substance that he had been charged with. His sentencing hearing takes place on January 15 in Chilliwack.

Back in November 2015, Abbotsford Police said in a news release that in September 2015, the Abbotsford Police Department’s Gang and Drug Unit (GDU), which was focused on the Townline Hill conflict at the time, entered into a drug trafficking investigation involving persons identified as being involved in this conflict.

It said: “Over the past couple of months, a variety of resources were deployed into this large-scale investigation.  On [November 26, 2015], members of the APD’s Emergency Response Team (ERT), and the APD’s Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) assisted GDU in making three arrests.  Two search warrants were also executed, one at a residence located in the 30600-block of Curlew Drive and a further residence located in the 3500-block of Summit Drive.

“As a result of this investigation, drugs (cocaine, heroin and MDMA), $6,000 cash, two vehicles and drug paraphernalia were seized by police.”

Police also arrested another male, but the charge against him was later dropped.
