Red Deer man charged after search finds meth, cocaine and fentanyl

A search warrant at a Bower-area commercial property led to the seizure of drugs and cash, RCMP say.

Red Deer RCMP have charged a 42-year-old man following a drug trafficking investigation carried out by the detachment's General Investigation Section. He was arrested on July 8 after officers executed a search warrant at a commercial property in the city's Bower neighbourhood.

During the search, police seized 226.7 grams of methamphetamine, 133.4 grams of cocaine, 3.3 grams of fentanyl, and $2,055 in Canadian currency.

The man faces two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, along with charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of property obtained by crime. He was released on an undertaking and is set to appear in the Alberta Court of Justice in Red Deer on September 16, 2026.

RCMP are asking anyone with information about this case or other suspicious activity in Red Deer to contact the detachment or Crime Stoppers.
