Edmonton police said the Edmonton Drug and Gang Enforcement (EDGE) Unit had seized a large amount of fentanyl during an investigation.
The EDGE Unit conducted an investigation that resulted in officers executing a search warrant at a home in the area of 102 Avenue and 117 Street on April 22.
As a result of their search, officers seized the following:
- 824 Fentanyl pills with a street value of $41,200
- 14 grams of cocaine with a street value of $800

Police said Fentanyl has become more widely available in Edmonton recently – calling it relatively new and dangerous, saying it simulates the effects of heroin and oxycodone.
