Police seized a shotgun, two kilos of cocaine, 17 kilos of a buffing agent, psilocybin mushrooms, contraband cigarettes, nunchucks and brass knuckles, and $29,000 in cash from multiple suites at the residence.
The operation was conducted by Edmonton police and the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT).
A 40-year-old man was charged with trafficking a controlled substance, proceeds of crime over $5,000, and possession of a prohibited / restricted weapon, among several other charges.
A 38-year-old man was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.
None of the charges have been proven in court.
