A 23-year-old man is facing charges after a drug bust in Lloydminster that yielded an estimated $240,000 in drugs and cash. Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) said officers began investigating in September, eventually leading to the search of a local hotel room on Nov. 5. Inside the suite, ALERT said officers found: A Lloydminster man was arrested and charged with possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime. “The totality of the drugs seized will have a big impact on the city of Lloydminster and larger region,” said ALERT Insp. Brad Lundeen. “This is a large amount of harmful substances to take off the street and out of circulation.”
