EDMONTON – Heroin, cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, marijuana and counterfeit Oxycontin pills are among the drugs seized during a recent bust in Edmonton.
On Friday, RCMP executed search warrants at two Edmonton homes, where officers say they discovered the following:
- 1 machete
- approximately 500 grams of cocaine
- approximately 80 grams of crack cocaine
- approximately 700 grams of methamphetamine
- approximately 30 grams of heroin
- approximately 73 grams of hash oil

- approximately 7200 milliliters of GHB
- approximately 260 pills of counterfeit Oxycontin pills containing Fentanyl
- approximately 2.5 grams of marijuana
- assorted types of firearm ammunition

“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.”
