Red Deer Mounties assist in Mountain View Country drug bust
More than $160,000 in drugs and cash were seized after an ALERT investigation south of Red Deer. Four firearms, including two loaded handguns, were also seized.
The drugs were seized after a rural residence was searched in Mountain View County. ALERT seized large amounts of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine and arrested six suspects.
“Our information suggested these suspects were trafficking drugs in the region, and also supplying methamphetamine and fentanyl towards Medicine Hat and Lethbridge,” said Staff Sgt. Kelsey Fraser, ALERT Medicine Hat.
ALERT Medicine Hat’s organized crime team concluded the investigation on February 24. A number of partner agencies provided assistance, including Didsbury RCMP, Red Deer RCMP, Medicine Hat Police, and ALERT Red Deer.
