Medicine Hat…ALERT’s Medicine Hat Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU), an integrated team of Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS) and RCMP members, charged three people as a result of a short-term cocaine trafficking investigation.
On May 24, CFSEU-Medicine Hat, with assistance from the MHPS and Brooks RCMP, executed a search warrant on a northwest Medicine Hat residence where they seized 42 grams of crack cocaine and $2,700 cash.
As a result, two Medicine Hat residents are charged:
Then on May 25, police arrested a man in Brooks where he was found allegedly transporting 107 grams of crack cocaine.
