Five arrested during search of north Lethbridge home

LETHBRIDGE, AB – Five people are facing a variety of charges after Lethbridge Police executed a search warrant at a north side home earlier this week.

Officers were called to the house along the 400 block of 12 B street north following public complaints about illegal activity there.

They recovered stolen property including bikes, power tools and two-way radios and seized brass knuckles and bear spray, more than 75 unknown pills, and small amounts of meth, ecstasy and fentanyl.
