Two people are facing charges after officers found drugs worth an estimated $30,000 inside a Medicine Hat home. Members of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) arrested the suspects on Sept. 11 after seizing: ALERT says officers also found $5,938 in cash. A 62-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman are both charged with possession, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime. “Taking drugs off the street and holding drug dealers accountable remains a top priority for ALERT and the Medicine Hat Police Service,” said Insp. Brad Lundeen with ALERT. “Our agencies are committed to working together to keep our community safe.” The seizure and arrests were the culmination of an eight-month-long investigation, ALERT said.
