Dozens arrested and charged in major Strathcona County drug busts

Police in Strathcona County have been busy over the past few months trying to put a dent in the area’s drug trade. It appears their hard work is paying off. 39 people have been arrested and are facing 91 drug related charges.

“These arrests will have a significant impact on the local drug trade,” said Constable Wally Henry, spokesperson for the Strathcona County Detachment. “These investigations not only deal with the actual drug offences, but the associated crimes that accompany this activity as well, including property and persons related offences.”

A variety of drugs have been seized during the investigation, from the well known to the more exotic, including: heroin, crack cocaine, ecstasy, marihuana, OxyNEO, sandoz morphine SR, pms-hydromorphone and para-Methoxymethamphetamine.

A 2012 Harley Davidson motorcycle, a 2009 Toyota Highlander SUV, and about $34,000 in cash were also seized.
