Police have seized over $30,000 in illegal drugs in Medicine Hat following a two-month-long investigation, the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) said Wednesday.

During the course of the investigation, officers arrested three people from Medicine Hat.

According to ALERT, it’s alleged the three were part of a network transporting drugs from Calgary and distributing them in southeastern Alberta.

“Drug traffickers don’t confine themselves to just one community. They are always looking to expand their markets,” Staff Sgt. Kelsey Fraser with ALERT said in a Wednesday news release.

“That’s why ALERT works closely with our law enforcement partners across the province to identify traffickers and disrupt their operations.”

Shrubsall has been remanded in custody.

Fehr and Spence have been released on conditions pending their court dates.
