In June 2026, our Drug Unit became aware of a residence believed to be associated to drug trafficking and launched an investigation. Over the next four months, investigators identified four suspects believed to be operating a drug distribution network in Calgary and Edmonton. The investigation also included support from 16 units within CPS, as well as assistance from the Edmonton Police Service, RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency. In total, offers wrote 18 judicial authorizations and executed nine search warrants on residences and vehicles.
