The Grande Prairie RCMP General Investigation Section made several arrests during a search warrant earlier this month.
According to the RCMP, on April 3rd, members of the Grande Prairie GIS, which is often responsible for medium to long-term investigations, executed a search warrant on a residence in the City of Grande Prairie as part of an “ongoing drug trafficking investigation.”
During their search, officers managed to seize undisclosed amounts of suspected cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine, along with a firearm located inside.
Staff Sergeant Brent Lawson with the Grande Prairie RCMP calls the investigation “another example” of the RCMP’s commitment to removing substances from the city’s streets.
“The distribution of illegal drugs continues to have a significant impact on our community,” he says. “The investigation is another example of the dedication of our members in targeting those responsible for trafficking harmful substances.”
The investigation is ongoing, and so far, has led to the arrests of “multiple” Grande Prairie residents, and police say they are now facing a list of charges related to drug trafficking.
