More than $40K in drugs, cash seized by LPS

Police seized more than $40,000 of drugs and cash during what officers call a “short-term investigation,” resulting in the arrest of a Calgary man and a Lethbridge woman.

According to Lethbridge Police Service officials, members of the Property Crimes Unit and Crime Suppression Team started the investigation after seeing what they describe as being consistent with drug trafficking activities. Officers arrested the woman shortly after outside a home, while a targeted traffic stop resulted in the arrest of the man. During searches connected to the arrest, police found the man had over $36,00 worth of drugs in his possession, including cocaine and fentanyl and just over $2,600 in cash. The search of the woman resulted in the seizure of what police call a “small amount of fentanyl” and more than $4,300 cash.

Thirty-nine-year-old Feisal Yasir Ali and 33-year-old Alannah Rilley Anderson is are both facing a handful of charges including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime. Ali has been remanded into custody while Anderson is waiting for a Judicial Interim Release hearing.
