Police said two .22-calibre rifles — one of which had the barrel sawed off — and hundreds of rounds of ammunition were also seized.
Forty-three-year-old Pamela Jacobson and 24-year-old Keanna Chuhaniuk, both from Red Deer, are facing several charges, including possession of a controlled substance, careless use of a firearm and possession of a prohibited firearm.
“The wide variety of drugs seized during this investigation is remarkable, especially for a town such as Innisfail,” Insp. Sean Boser with ALERT regional teams said in the news release.
“Being able to act quickly to get drugs and firearms out of these suspects’ hands is a big win for community safety.”
