Members of the Drumheller RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) and General Duty members executed a search warrant at a residence in the 700 block of 4 Street SW at approximately 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, January 12 as a result of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking.
The search led to the discovery of various quantities of illicit drugs including suspected oxycodone, percocets, psilocybin (also known as magic mushrooms), cocaine, and marijuana.
“Drumheller RCMP members continue to focus on a variety of crime within our communities, including trafficking of drugs,” stated Staff Sergeant Rob Harms. “This operation is another example of our GIS Unit and General Duty members working together to ensure a safe community.”
In addition, a taser, a large amount of cash, and other property and evidence, were seized all of which are consistent and indicative of trafficking a Controlled Substance(s).
Two male suspects, both from the Drumheller Valley, were taken into custody during the operation and have since been released. RCMP continue to investigate this matter and charges are pending.
