At the time of the arrests, Edmonton police said all four were being monitored by officers from the Targeted Offender Section (TOS), a unit that manages offenders on release.

“This arrest, combined with the arrest announced earlier this week, amounts to almost $1.2 million in drugs that our investigators, both in EDGE (police drug and gang enforcement unit) and TOS have taken off of Edmonton streets,” Pattison said.
