Alberta drug investigators seized equipment that can be used in making commercial-sized amounts of cocaine during a search of Edmonton properties last month.
The investigation into cocaine trafficking started in October, according to Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT).
“Through the course of this five-month investigation, officers were able to identify several suspects, and seized several pieces of equipment which were being used to produce large, commercial-sized quantities of product,” said Sgt. Jeff Woodliffe.
Woodcliffe said the operation was sophisticated.
Police said officers identified four homes and four vehicles that were linked to the operation.

ALERT said the investigation, assisted by Edmonton Police Service, is ongoing. They haven’t released the names of anyone charged in relation to the alleged cocaine trafficking operation.
