As a result of a search warrant executed in a basement suite in Prince Albert, local police seized over three kilograms of drugs and approximately $12,500 in cash.

Liban Elmi, 34, has been charged with multiple offences, including possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, fentanyl, and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

In January 2026, investigators received information that a man was trafficking cocaine and methamphetamine from a residence in the 800 block of 7th Street East, prompting the Prince Albert Police Service Crime Reduction Team (CRT) members to conduct an extensive investigation.

On Feb. 13, 2026, they executed the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant.
