Alberta RCMP seize drugs, guns, thousands of dollars in cash in Westlock – Edmonton [Video]

Alberta RCMP have charged four people in a drug investigation in Westlock, Alta.

According to investigators, police seized just over 100g of cocaine, seven firearms, three forged documents, 19 cartons of unstamped cigarettes, and more than $12,000 in cash.

The investigation began in July 2024, when police were informed by residents as part of the town’s community consultations.

Acting Supt. Anthony Hanson said the investigation needed a coordinated effort with the Eastern Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit, St. Albert RCMP City Drug Unit, RCMP ‘K’ Division Special ‘I’ and RCMP ‘K’ Division, as well as Edmonton Police Service as police discovered that potential suppliers could be in St. Albert and Edmonton areas.

“We were able to shift resources to support local detachments quite easily,” Acting Supt. Hanson told reporters on Tuesday.
