EDMONTON – After a four month investigation Strathcona County RCMP have charged four men with more than 100 charges connected to drugs, guns and stolen property.
On November 26th three men were arrested in Edmonton. A fourth man was arrested a week later.
Police seized a restricted .40 caliber Smith and Wesson handgun and ammunition, a ‘significant’ amount of cocaine and heroin, along with GHB, hash oil, hydromorphone and close to one kilogram of methamphetamine.
Several stolen items, including tools, were also found.
“Getting crime guns and this quantity of drugs off our streets greatly reduces the impact of potential harm caused by illicit drug trade in our community and throughout the province,” said Supt. Gary Peck, Strathcona County RCMP.
