Man wanted in Edmonton drug bust worth $2.3 million

A warrant has been issued to an Edmonton man in connection with a $2.3 million drug bust earlier this month.

The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) executed a search warrant at a Windermere apartment on October 9 and seized the following:

• 17.7 kilograms of cocaine;
• 5.3 kilograms of MDMA;
• 950 grams of methamphetamine;
• 3.1 kilograms of ketamine;
• five kilograms of psilocybin mushrooms;
• 20,000 oxycodone tablets;
• 4,705 illegal prescription pills; And
• $41,000 cash.

The warrant stems from an investigation that began in June involving a high-level drug trafficker in the Edmonton area with a number of supply lines.

A warrant was issued against 36-year-old Minh Nguyen for possession of drugs with intent to distribute, possession of proceeds of crime and possession of counterfeit money.

Police allege Nguyen supplied other drug dealers in Edmonton and other northern Alberta communities.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call police.
