More than half-a-million dollars worth of drugs as well as what police described as an “automatic machine gun” were seized when police officers executed a search warrant at a warehouse in north Edmonton last month.
In a news release issued Thursday, the Edmonton Police Service said the raid was conducted in the area of 141 Street and 128 Avenue on April 13.
According to police, 3.17 kilograms of cocaine were sized, along with 710 grams of fentanyl powder and 394 fentanyl pills. They said officers also found 82 kilograms of “chemicals used as a cutting agent for cocaine.”
