LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) estimates that around $11,000 worth of illicit drugs were confiscated during a recent arrest.

On Thursday, May 5, 2022, members of the Crime Suppression Team saw a woman, who was known to police and who had several conditions from previous charges, inside a vehicle.

LPS says the vehicle made a number of stops and was engaged in activities consistent with drug trafficking.

A man and a woman were arrested without incident after the vehicle stopped at a convenience store.

During a subsequent search, police seized cocaine, oxycodone and hydromorphone pills, fentanyl, methamphetamine, two cell phones, and a collapsible baton.
