LETHBRIDGE, AB. — Police have charged four Lethbridge people with drug offences following the execution of search warrants at two northside homes on Friday, Feb 21.

In January, members of the Crime Suppression Team (CST) began an investigation into drug trafficking activities which resulted in the execution of search warrants at two homes along the 1800 block of 1 Avenue North.

The warrants were executed simultaneously, with assistance from the Field Operations and Criminal Investigation Divisions.

A total of eight people were arrested without incident. During a search of the residences and the subjects, police seized narcotics, cocaine, methamphetamine, carfentanil, psilocybin and cannabis (exceeding the quantity that is legally allowed to possess). In addition, police seized brass knuckles, cash proceeds of crime, pepper spray and a conducted energy weapon.
