Three adult males who were in the residence at the time the search warrant was executed were also subsequently arrested.

“This was another successful operation by EDGE, who continue to target and investigate those who profit from drugs and violence in the community,” says Staff Sergeant Marco Antonio, EPS Organized Crime Branch. “The ages of these accused are particularly concerning, and we encourage anyone - especially youth - to make choices that avoid criminality. Involvement in drug trafficking and gang-related crime can lead to devastating consequences, not only for the participants but for our community at large.”
