A two-year long investigation called Project Glacier has resulted in a criminal organization being dismantled in Grande Prairie.
Six people have been charged, including a 42-year-old Wembley, Alta., man ALERT believes was the head of the organization.
ALERT said the man and his associates were involved in drug trafficking in Grande Prairie and the British Columbia Peace region.
Approximately $283,000 worth of cash and drugs were seized, including cocaine, cocaine buffing agents, illicit opioids and illegal steroids.
“Drug trafficking, linked to this group, would have caused considerable community harm,” Insp. Brad Lundeen with ALERT said in a news release.
Two firearms were also recovered.
ALERT said one, a loaded handgun, was previously reported stolen.
