“Even though the search warrants were executed at residences in Edmonton, the accused individuals were very active in trafficking and selling illegal drugs in Strathcona County,” said Cst. Elissa Purvis of the Strathcona County RCMP.
“Due to the hard work and dedication of the Strathcona County RCMP Drug Unit, the involved individuals were identified and apprehended, resulting in a large quantity of illegal drugs being taken off of the streets.”
