In a high-risk execution of a search warrant, Peace Regional RCMP arrested six people and laid 57 drug and weapon charges.

Officers executed two search warrants at a home at 82 Avenue and 94 Street in Peace River on Friday, asking the public to avoid the area. The Mounties were helped out by the Emergency Response Team.

A search of the house turned up 220.4 grams of heroin, 37.9 grams of methamphetamine, 213.3 grams of cocaine and crack cocaine, 230 grams of marijuana, 120.5 grams of hashish, 10 ecstasy tablets, $1,000 in cash, still unidentified pills and powders, 12 long-barrel guns including one with an altered serial number, one sawed-off prohibited shotgun, two handguns, and one prohibited magazine with 30 rounds.

The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are pending, but so far 57 charges, including 44 firearm-related charges, have been laid on top of five breach of recognizance charges.

Six occupants of the house were remanded into custody and were scheduled to appear in Peace River Provincial Court on March 6.

Those charged include Eugene L'Hirondelle, 31, from Peace River, Lilly Lizotte, 42, from Grimshaw, Darren Taylor, 47, from Peace River, Kimberly Stranaghan, 35, from Peace River, Travis Cardinal, 27, from Peace River and Deva Ominayak, 29, from Cadotte Lake.

Taylor is facing seven counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking under the controlled drugs and substances act for the drugs seized.

A seventh man from McLennan, Alberta was taken to hospital in Edmonton with serious, but not-life threatening injuries, according to a news release issued by Staff Sgt. Brent Meyer of the Peace Reigonal RCMP.
