 VANCOUVER  – The lucrative local illicit drug trade is allegedly also attracting cops looking to make big bucks as a side hustle.

A Vancouver police officer was charged Monday with various offences including drugs and theft. He also had a young Indo-Canadian drug dealing associate, who has also been charged.

VPD Constable Neil Logan was charged with the offences related to theft, breach of trust and drugs after an extensive investigation by Vancouver Police detectives.

During the investigation into Logan, police also began an investigation into one of his associates. As a result, 20-year-old Surrey resident Dilpreet Kooner has been charged with four offences related to drug trafficking.

 “My team began a criminal investigation last May after concerns about Constable Logan’s on-duty conduct were identified,” says Inspector Mike Heard, Team Commander, Investigation Division, VPD. “Our investigation into that conduct revealed additional concerning behaviour and criminal activity by Mr. Logan.”

Crown counsel has approved two counts of theft,  two counts of breach of trust, and one count of possession of a controlled substance against Logan related to on-duty conduct. An additional charge of theft and a charge of possession of a controlled substance were also approved, but not in relation to on-duty activity.

 “I am deeply disappointed about what our investigation uncovered into Mr. Logan’s behaviour, but am pleased by the thorough and comprehensive work of our detectives,” says Laurence Rankin, Deputy Chief Constable, Investigation Division, VPD. “Police officers are held to a higher standard – as they should be – and need to be held accountable for their behaviour.”

Logan has been suspended by the VPD and is no longer an active member of the department.

Logan was previously in the news for allegedly beating up his girlfriend during a trip to the US.
