RCMP in St. Albert said a teenager had been charged, after a drug trafficking investigation was launched and a variety of drugs seized as part of it.
Police said the St. Albert RCMP Drug Unit, with the help from a unit within the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT), and the St. Albert RCMP General Investigation Section had investigated a local male believed to be trafficking cocaine in St. Albert.
On October 30, a search warrant was executed at an apartment in the Grandin area – and investigators uncovered and seized cocaine, psilocybin, marijuana, methylone (bath salts) and counterfeit oxycontin, believed to be fentanyl.
Now, Tyle Kemps, 19, is facing a total of eight charges, including two counts of trafficking, five counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and a charge of possession of a controlled substance.
Investigators are still searching for a female for questioning.
Kemps is expected to appear in court December 15.
