Jan 8, 2026 | 2:51 PM

One person has been charged following a proactive traffic stop that resulted in the largest drug seizure in the history of the Lacombe Police Service.

It happened on Dec. 2, 2025, with members of the Lacombe Police Service allegedly seized weapons, cash, and evidence related to drug trafficking and manufacturing during a local traffic stop.

At approximately 4:14 a.m., police observed a vehicle being operated in a manner consistent with impaired driving in the area of Highway 2A. LPS says members initiated a traffic stop and, during their interaction with the driver, observed signs of drug impairment and the presence of drug paraphernalia in plain view.

As a result of the investigation, police seized a significant quantity of cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine, along with items consistent with the trafficking and manufacturing of illegal drugs, including two imitation handguns. A large safe located inside a Rubbermaid container was also seized and secured pending the execution of a search warrant.

The total quantities and estimated street values of drugs seized are as follows:
