Officers seized seven and a half litres of GHB, 782 grams of methamphetamine and 10 fentanyl pills during a traffic stop Tuesday.
The vehicle was stopped Tuesday in the Montrose neighbourhood and inside a vehicle, ALERT found approximately $80,000 worth of drugs, including:
– 782 grams of methamphetamine
– 7.5 litres of GHB
– 10 fentanyl pills
– stolen identification
– score sheets, scales, and other trafficking paraphernalia
“Seven and a half litres of GHB is a significant amount,” said Mike Tucker, Spokesperson for ALERT. “Bear in mind we are going to have to submit it for more testing in terms of how pure it is, but when you think that typically a cap full is enough to incapacitate someone; we are talking about a lot of dangerous doses in this case.”
The GHB, commonly known as the date rape drug, was being stored and transported in some sort of pail apparatus (pictured).
“Collaboration is vital to keeping our community safe. This investigation exemplifies our close working relationship with Grande Prairie RCMP and our shared commitment to getting harmful drugs off the street,” said Insp. Sean Boser, ALERT Regional teams.
The three vehicle occupants were arrested and charged with numerous drug offences.
Jacob Blid, a 34-year-old man, is charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of property obtained by crime.
