4 children removed from Blood Tribe home after fentanyl trafficking arrests
Child endangerment and drug charges laid against 4 suspects
Four people are facing charges and four children have been removed from their home after police discovered fentanyl and other drugs at a residence in Standoff on the southern Alberta Blood Tribe reserve.
Officers with the Blood Tribe police force executed a search warrant at the home early Friday morning, turning up almost 100 fentanyl tablets, as well as a small amount of cocaine and more than $4,000 believed to be proceeds of crime.
Blood Tribe Child Protection Services officials removed four children from the home.
Two 35-year-old men and two women, aged 24 and 20, were arrested.
They each face numerous drug possession and tracking charges, as well as putting a child in immediate danger of exposure to drugs and drug trafficking.
