Four people were recently arrested after a large amount of meth, cocaine and LSD were seized in multiple central Alberta search warrants.

Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT), say they seized $180,000 worth of drugs on Sept. 19, plus $6,700 worth of precious metals believed to be the proceeds of crime.

That includes 1.5 kg of methamphetamine, 1.1 kg of cocaine, and 186 LSD tablets. There was also a small amount of other illicit prescription pills, and 119 cartons of contraband tobacco.

Two warrants were at homes in Red Deer, and one was at a trailer parked at a campground in Lacombe County.

However, ALERT says the four who were arrested were released for now without charges, as the investigation remains ongoing.
