Alberta Sheriffs shut Parkland drug house

The Alberta Sheriffs have shut down a property in Parkland County that attracted criminal and drug activity to the area.

The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) unit of the Alberta Sheriffs obtained a court order against the owner of Lot 117 at 52318 Range Road 25 that gives investigators the authority to close the property for 90 days, starting at noon on June 22.

The community safety order, obtained in Court of King’s Bench, bars people from the property until the closure period ends on Sept. 20. Crews are installing a fence around the lot and boarding up the house to prevent unauthorized access during the 90 days.
