LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service has released results from an ongoing downtown enforcement project.
The project involves both uniformed and covert officers actively targeting offenders engaged in criminal activity and other negative behaviours in the city centre.
Police removed more than 450 doses of methamphetamine and fentanyl from the street, including large chunks of orange fentanyl that police say has been found at the scene of several fatal overdoses over the last week.
The operation was initiated in March and the third project took place on May 24. LPS executed 22 outstanding warrants resulting in the arrest of 11 people. Three males were charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and police seized smaller quantities of drugs for destruction from 17 people.
