Grande Prairie… Eight people have been charged and more than a quarter million dollars in drugs and cash was seized as the result of an ALERT investigation dubbed Project Incumbent.
Project Incumbent was a lengthy investigation by ALERT Grande Prairie’s organized crime and gang team that targeted a regional cocaine trafficking network. Eight suspects were implicated, with the most recent arrest taking place on September 21, 2020.
Grande Prairie RCMP helped with the investigation, and a number of specialized ALERT and RCMP teams were utilized.
“Project Incumbent brought together a number of police resources in order to dismantle this drug trafficking network. These arrests will prove to be a substantive hit to drug trafficking in the Grande Prairie region,” said Insp. Sean Boser, ALERT Regional Teams.
ALERT executed search warrants at three Grande Prairie homes and seized more than $260,000 worth of drugs and cash, including:
Two vehicles were also seized.
A total of 33 charges have been laid as the result of Project Incumbent. Thus far, ALERT has arrested three suspects:
Warrants have been issued for five suspects, who ALERT believes have left the Grande Prairie region:
Anyone with information on the suspects’ whereabouts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
