Lacombe Police make drug seizure during traffic stop

Jan 6, 2026 | 11:41 AM

Lacombe Police seized various amounts of drugs during a recent traffic stop.

They say it was about 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 3 when members conducted a traffic stop in the parking lot of a business near 49 Avenue and Hwy 2A; this after observing a vehicle displaying a license plate that did not match the vehicle.

“During the stop, officers observed a container holding a white substance believed to be cocaine, as well as a pipe commonly associated with the consumption of crack cocaine,” say Lacombe Police in a release.

“The sole occupant of the vehicle, a 46-year-old female from Red Deer, was arrested at the scene.”

A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of about 2.05 pounds of white substance believed to be cocaine. It was packaged and stamped in a manner consistent with drug trafficking, police add.
