On Feb. 10, a search warrant was executed at an apartment in the Lower Townsite neighbourhood.
“The apartment was actively being used to produce crack cocaine. Not only is crack a highly addictive and destructive substance, manufacturing attracts other negative outcomes including the potential for associated violence. Our team seized roughly 190 grams of cocaine from the suite," said Staff Sgt. Ryan Harrison of ALERT in a news release. "Taking this amount of drugs of any nature off our streets will certainly have a positive impact in the community and on the safety of residents who also live in the building.”
