Three men were charged, including a Springbrook man and two people from Calgary.
Police seized a total of 2.1 kilograms of methamphetamine and 1.3 kilograms of fentanyl, along with 238.2 grams of cocaine and $10,000 in cash.
“Through excellent investigational work and effective interagency collaboration, this drug trafficking network was disrupted and dangerous drugs were prevented from entering a number of Alberta communities,” said Red Deer RCMP Insp. Heidi Ravenhill in a statement.
