RED DEER, Alta. – Police have used a court order to close a house suspected of being a base for drug activity in central Alberta.
RCMP said they were called to the home on a quiet street in Penhold 24 times in the past eight months after receiving complaints from concerned neighbours.

Last August, Mounties raided the house and seized drugs, firearms, cash, and stolen property.
Five people were arrested, including the homeowner.
The court order will allow RCMP and Alberta Sheriffs to keep the house closed for 90 days in the hope it will break the pattern of problem behaviour.
