LETHBRIDGE, AB – A local man was arrested Thursday following a long-term investigation by Lethbridge Police.

Back in September, members of the Crime Suppression Team began a file on a suspected drug trafficking operation.

On Thursday, December 17, officers searched a home on the 500 block of 26 Street South, allegedly finding more than $20,500 in cash, a taser, brass knuckles, and bear spray.

Quantities of Xanax, Oxycocet, Oxycodone, cocaine, MDMA, ketamine, and cannabis were confiscated and are said to be worth more than $30,000.
