LETHBRIDGE — Cocaine and marijuana were just some of the evidence collected from last Friday’s drug bust in a south Lethbridge home.
The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team seized a 12-gauge shotgun, a semi-automatic Ruger .22 calibre rifle with a silencer, knives and body armour.
“As a result of the investigation we did we some weapons along with body armour, which is concerning to us, as to what the weapons with the body armour were for,” said Staff Sgt. Rod Klassen with ALERT.
Police also discovered drugs with an estimated street value of $15,000, including 115 grams of cocaine, 400 grams of marijuana, a glass container of hash oil and $4,245 in cash.
Altogether the four suspects are facing a total of 19 charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime and possession of a controlled substance.
“It was a community concern, causing a lot of traffic in the area and a lot of undesirable activities,” added Klassen.
ALERT said that this was an isolated incident and that the public is not at risk. All four suspects are the only individuals that are part of the investigation.
