On Wednesday, the Edmonton Police Service announced seven people are facing charges after officers seized $94,000 worth of street drugs along with weapons in a series of north end raids last week.
Police said on Friday, the Northwest Division Special Project Team executed search warrants at five different residences in connection with an ongoing investigation.
They found:
-Over 600 grams of methamphetamine with a street value of over $42,000
-632 fentanyl pills with a street value of over $22,000
-205 grams of shatter with a street value of over $14,000
-Over 150 oxycodone pills and various quantities of crack cocaine, mushrooms and GHB
-Buffing agents
– A sawed-off shotgun and an airsoft gun
-Cash proceeds of crime
“We are very happy with the outcome of this investigation,” Sgt. Colin Hughan with Northwest Division, said in a news release Wednesday. “This seizure allowed us to remove a significant amount of meth off the streets, along with one of the most dangerous drugs we are seeing today – that being fentanyl.”
Police said seven adults are facing a total of 45 charges which include drug-related, firearms and stolen property offences. They did not reveal the names of the accused.
