A trio of Edmontonians are facing a combined total of 27 drug trafficking and firearm-related offences, after a multi-unit drug bust supported by the Grande Prairie RCMP.
The investigation began in November 2024 when the Edmonton Police Service’s Northeast Beats team, along with members of the Edmonton Gang and Drug Enforcement Unit looked into a group that was suspected of bringing drugs from BC’s lower mainland into the Edmonton area.
Later, on January 28th, police executed a search warrant at two hotel rooms in Edmonton, a vehicle, and a residence in the area of 117th Avenue and 87th Street, where they located a fentanyl processing operation.
As a result, police seized more than 18 kilograms of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $180K, more than 3.5 kilograms of cocaine estimated at $229K, more than 2 kilograms, or around $24K worth of fentanyl, 25 Litres of GHB, nearly 60 grams of Alprazolam powder, and one firearm.
Law enforcement says the fentanyl processing operation was subsequently dismantled by the EPS Clandestine Laboratory team.
Now, two males, 43-year-old Brett Ogilvie and 21-year-old Owen Lloyd, along with a female, 47-year-old Robin Kelley, all from Edmonton, were arrested and face a total of 27 charges including possession for the purpose of trafficking, production of a controlled substance, and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
The EPS took a moment to thank the Grande Prairie RCMP for providing investigative support that ensured a “swift and successful” completion of the investigation.
