Cold Lake RCMP have put a stop to what they call a dial-a-dope operation.
Cold Lake’s general investigation section became aware of a group of individuals involved in illegal crack cocaine sales in the area in late 2023.
With the assistance of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams in Edmonton, it was determined through investigation that a well-organized crack cocaine delivery service was operating in Cold Lake.
Separate search warrants in Bonnyville and Cold Lake were executed, and police seized approximately 118 grams of crack cocaine, $3,900 in Canadian currency, multiple cell phones, and other paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.
Tezriel Willier, 22, a resident of Edmonton has been charged with 2 counts of trafficking in a controlled substance. Willier will appear in the Alberta Court of Justice in Cold Lake on Oct. 9.
