Edmonton… ALERT is currently conducting search warrants across the province as part of an ongoing investigation into large-scale fentanyl production.
ALERT conducted 13 search warrants on July 7, 2021. The search locations include homes and businesses in the Edmonton and Calgary areas, and a suspected fentanyl superlab located at a rural location just south of Calgary. Several suspects were arrested and more arrests are pending.
A number of specialized police teams and resources are involved including clandestine laboratory response teams of the RCMP, Edmonton Police Service, and Calgary Police Service.
