Man arrested after 22 guns seized in Northern Alberta drug-trafficking investigation

Firearms, body armour and ammunition seized by RCMP in Fox Lake, Alta., in a drug-trafficking investigation in February 2026.

Police in northern Alberta seized several guns from a home last month after using a search warrant in a drug-and-alcohol investigation.

Officers in Fox Lake started their investigation in November and used the warrant at a home in the unincorporated community 550 kilometres north of Edmonton on Feb. 13, finding 22 firearms as well as ammunition, hard body armour, a small amount of cocaine, $11,000 in cash and drug-trafficking paraphernalia, RCMP said in a Friday media release.

Police arrested a Fox Lake man in the case and released him on conditions while awaiting crown approval for 11 firearms-related charges and one drug-trafficking charge.

The man is scheduled to go to court April 14 in Fort Vermillion.
