The man was on a release order from being charged with three counts of Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking in February 2025; as a result of this investigation, he was identified to be in breach of his conditions.

The man has been charged with:

• Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (x3);
• Possession of Proceeds of Crime over $5000; and,
• Breaching a Release Order (x5).

The accused was held for a bail hearing and was remanded into custody. He is to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Sherwood Park July 23.

Alberta RCMP’s Community Response Teams focus outreach strategies combined with targeted enforcement and engagement with police partners and community to improve community safety and wellness, reduce victimization, and address the social determinants contributing to the root cause of crime.

In all, the investigation was helped along by the Sheriff Investigative Support Unit Surveillance Team, St. Albert RCMP, Red Deer Crime Reduction Team, and the Edmonton Police Service, over the course of a week.
