On June 3, LCRU Members, with assistance from RCMP in Elk Point, St. Paul Traffic Services, St. Paul Police Dog Services (PDS), Eastern Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit (EADCRU) and the Edmonton Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT), executed multiple search warrants at the rural property, which is within the County of St. Paul.
