A large amount of cocaine, plus currency and firearms were seized by Blackfalds RCMP and other partners after a search warrant was executed on a home in Blackfalds.

In September 2024, the Blackfalds RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) entered into an investigation involving an individual believed to be trafficking drugs in the community, with the assistance of the Sylvan Lake GIS.

As a result of the investigation, Blackfalds RCMP with assistance from Innisfail RCMP GIS and Red Deer RCMP Police Dog Services executed a search warrant at a home in Blackfalds on Oct. 2.

As a result of the search, RCMP allegedly seized 253 grams of cocaine, $3,343 in currency, and six firearms.

“This investigation saw the effective coordination of different RCMP detachments and sections to quickly and safely remove these drugs and guns from our community,” said Staff Sergeant Andrew Allan.
