Smoky Lake RCMP Arrest Three on Drug Posession Charges

Three people are facing charges after Smoky Lake RCMP responded to a suspicious person call near a school in Smoky Lake.

PoliceĀ  found three people in a vehicle near the school on the morning of October 6th. On preliminary investigation, police officers discovered the driver of the vehicle was breaching conditions of a court order and one passenger had outstanding warrants.

Police searched the vehicle after arrests were made without incident and seized what is believed to be 131 grams of crystal meth , 35 grams of crack cocaine, various drug paraphernalia, and Canadian currency.

ā€œThis is a great example of why we want the public to report suspicious activity,ā€ says Sergeant Al Baird, Smoky Lake Detachment Commander. ā€œOne person thinking something did not look right and calling the police, led to us making this arrest and removing drugs off the street.ā€

The three accused are scheduled to appear in Fort Saskatchewan Provincial Court on November 16th.
