Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams’ organized crime unit and the RCMP’s Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement Response Team are dismantling a suspected drug lab outside of Valleyview.
According to ALERT, a search warrant was executed on a rural property on October 2nd and is expected to last several days.
ALERT Edmonton Inspector Angela Kemp adds while she can’t discuss specifics, law enforcement has reason to believe the site was working as a “major fentanyl operation.”
“Our team is working alongside public safety partners and chemical experts to remediate the threat,” she says. “It appears the lab possesses all the tools, materials, and chemicals necessary to mass produce fentanyl.”
One person has been taken into custody as of October 3rd.
