Edmonton police say two men and a woman have been charged following a drug trafficking investigation.

EPS says in November 2024, officers began an investigation into drug trafficking between B.C.’s Lower Mainland and the Edmonton area.

The investigation led to police executing a search warrant at two Edmonton hotel rooms, a vehicle, and a home near 117 Avenue and 87 Street, on Jan. 28.

During the search, officers were able to find and seize the following items:

• Over 18 kg of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $180,000.
• Over 3.5 kg of cocaine with an estimated street value of $229,000.
• Over 2 kg of fentanyl with an estimated street value of $24,000.
• 25 L of GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) with an estimated street value of over $12,000.
• Nearly 60 grams of Alprazolam powder with an estimated street value of over $8,500.
• One firearm.

As a result of the searches, police say 43-year-old Brett Ogilvie, 21-year-old Owen Lloyd, and 47-year-old Robin Kelley, have all been charged with a combined 27 charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking, production of a controlled substance, and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
