Man arrested twice in 2 weeks after traffic stops lead to large drug seizures

Methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine and GHB were seized by Edmonton police after officers stopped at truck for "excessively tinted windows" on May 14, 2025. (Supplied) Police say tinted windows led to charges of drug trafficking against two men in Edmonton earlier this month – one of which had been arrested and charged with the same a week prior. On May 14, police said officers were patrolling proactively near 107 Avenue and 101 Street when they stopped a black Dodge Ram for 'excessively tinted windows.' Upon further investigation, officers found the following drugs: 249 grams of methamphetamine; 21 grams of fentanyl; 56 grams of cocaine; and 30 ml of GHB. The drugs are estimated to be worth more than $22,000 on the street. A 40-year-old and 50-year-old man were arrested and each charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and proceeds of crime. The men are scheduled to appear in court on June 5 and May 29, respectively. The 40-year-old man was arrested just a week before on May 6 after a traffic stop that ended in the seizure of more than $32,000 in drugs. 'A traffic stop may appear minor, but it remains one of the most effective points of contact for detecting illegal weapons and drugs on our streets,' said Edmonton Police Service Staff Sgt. Patrick Stevens. 'People often wonder why police focus on minor traffic violations — but the recovery of $22,000 in illicit drugs makes the reason clear.'
