Three people have been charged by Edmonton police following a seven-month drug trafficking investigation.
EPS say in September 2021, members of the Drug and Gang Enforcement (EDGE) unit began an investigation after two men were noticed using an apartment to store and process cocaine and methamphetamine.
On March 30, 2022, officers issued a search warrant for a home in St. Albert and another in Edmonton’s McConachie neighbourhood. During the search officers recovered the following items:
