The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) says warrants have been issued for three men believed to be connected to a drug trafficking operation in Lloydminster.
ALERT says the charges against the three men come after they seized over $30,000 worth of cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine in connection with an investigation that began in April 2025.
Police note they seized a sawed-off rifle, a large amount of ammunition, 187 grams of methamphetamine, 52 grams of cocaine, 124 grams of a cocaine buffing agent, 120 grams of fentanyl, $600 cash, and various stolen property.
“The presence of drugs and firearms in our community represents a serious public safety risk. We are asking for the public’s help in locating these suspects and holding them accountable before the courts,” said Sergeant Bruce MacLean, ALERT.
Police say 34-year-old Aaron Cataract from Lloydminster, 22-year-old Shanalle Couston from Lloydminster are wanted for drug trafficking.
Additionally, 22-year-old Maninder Singh from Edmonton is wanted for possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking and failure to comply with his release conditions.
Warrants for the three men were issued on Nov. 14, and police have been unable to locate the men since.
Additionally, a fourth suspect, 54-year-old Keith Gayton from Lloydminster, was taken into custody and has been charged with drug trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime.
