Cold Lake RCMP have dismantled what they describe as a “dial-a-dope” operation in the area.
Cold Lake’s general investigation section became aware of a group of individuals involved in illegal crack cocaine sales in the area in late 2023.
An investigation revealed that a group was running a crack cocaine delivery service in Cold Lake. Police executed search warrants in both Bonnyville and Cold Lake, leading to the seizure of approximately 118 grams of crack cocaine, $3,900 in Canadian currency, several cell phones, and other drug trafficking paraphernalia.
Tezriel Willier, 22, a resident of Edmonton has been charged with 2 counts of trafficking in a controlled substance. Willier will appear in the Alberta Court of Justice in Cold Lake on Oct. 9.
Tyler Jerome, 35, who is also a resident of Edmonton has been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime. Jerome will appear in Court in Cold Lake Sept. 25.
