The RCMP has arrested two people in Brooks in connection to alleged drug trafficking.

On Thursday, January 30, 2025, officers searched a vehicle in the Sunny Lea area and two homes on Maple Drive and Greenbrook Road.

The RCMP says a “significant quantity” of illegal drugs were located at all three locations.

Brooks RCMP claims to have seized:

55 grams of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $3,300
700 tablets of dilaudid (hydromorphone) with an estimated street value of $14,000

According to the RCMP, their names cannot be released at this time as they have yet to be sworn into court.
