Major Drug Bust in East Central Alberta Village
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have made a significant arrest following a coordinated drug trafficking investigation in east central Alberta. On November 12, 2025, officers executed a search warrant at a residential property in the village of Myrnam, resulting in the seizure of illicit drugs and unexpected police equipment.
Months-Long Investigation Culminates in Raid
According to RCMP officials, the search operation was the culmination of an extensive investigation that spanned several months. The probe focused on suspected drug trafficking activities within the small Alberta community located approximately 180 kilometers east of Edmonton. During the execution of the search warrant, police discovered and confiscated multiple controlled substances along with a surprising item: official police body armour.
Charges Launched Following Evidence Collection
A woman now faces criminal charges in connection with the seized items. The discovery of police-issue protective gear alongside illegal narcotics has raised questions about how such equipment ended up in civilian hands. RCMP representatives emphasized that the investigation remains active as they work to determine the origin of the body armour and whether additional individuals were involved in the alleged criminal operations.
The accused individual is scheduled to appear in court to answer to the charges stemming from this investigation. Local residents have expressed both concern and relief following the police action, with many hoping the bust will disrupt drug-related activities in their community. The RCMP has encouraged anyone with additional information about drug trafficking in the region to come forward anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
