POLICE CRACK DOWN ON DRUGS

Drug Use Will Not Be Tolerated In Area Schools.

Concern over an increase in drug traffic prompted city police and school
staff to conduct a search of area schools, Nov. 13. The Camrose Police
Service dog, officers and school staff conducted a search of student
lockers and it resulted in the seizure of 43 marijuana joints from one
locker. A 17-year-old male was arrested and charged with possession for the
purpose of trafficking and breach of probation. Another locker search
resulted in the seizure of suspected drugs and they will be sent away for
analysis.

Inspector Damian Herle of the Camrose Police Service said police and school
staff continue to be vigilant in the fight against drug use. "The schools
are pro-active on drug use and the Camrose Police Service will continue to
work with them."
