Edmonton… Thousands of pills and other illicit drugs were seized as part of an ALERT drug investigation in north Edmonton. More than $200,000 in drugs and cash was seized.
ALERT Edmonton’s organized crime and gang team made the seizure on December 9, 2020. The Edmonton Police Service helped search a home in the Castle Downs neighborhood, which police allege was connected to suspected drug activity.
“This home was operating as a haphazard pharmacy with a range of harmful substances. Not only does it present dangers that are inherent with the drug trade, but there’s an added risk to the user with the possibility of cross-contamination,” said Staff Sgt. Blayne Eliuk, ALERT Edmonton.
Inside the home, ALERT seized:
Two Edmonton men were arrested on December 31, 2020. Davin Greenfield, 40, and Steven McAuley, 27, have each been charged with multiple drug-related offences.
Members of the public who suspect drug or gang activity in their community can call local police, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers is always anonymous.
ALERT was established and is funded by the Alberta Government and is a compilation of the province’s most sophisticated law enforcement resources committed to tackling serious and organized crime.
The work we do is about our communities, and that’s why we recognize that residents can be instrumental in tackling serious crime. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a crime, or you suspect criminal activity, please reach out. Your information will remain strictly confidential.
Thank you for helping to make Alberta safer by being actively involved and reporting suspicious activity.
