"Front line officers reacted quickly to a report received regarding threatening messages," Cst. Brody Hemrich said, "the report led to a search warrant being drafted and executed. While in the house officers also noticed evidence of a drug operation and second warrant was drafted and executed."

Approximately 280 doses of suspected drugs, with a street value of $42,000 were seized. The RCMP will continue its investigation regarding these findings and will submit additional charges for Crown approval.
