An accused drug dealer faces 19 charges after more than $100,000 in illicit drugs was seized during recent searches of two homes and two vehicles in two southern Alberta towns.

Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) officials say the investigation into suspected drug trafficking in the towns of Olds and Sundre began in September and culminated in the searches of the houses and vehicles in late November.

The searches resulted in the seizure of:

  • 285 grams of fentanyl;
  • 201 grams of cocaine;
  • 697 grams of methamphetamine;
  • 2,900 ml of GHB;
  • 372 hydromorphine pills;
  • Four guns including two stolen handguns; and,
  • $8,445 in cash.

Eric Becker, 33, was arrested and charged in connection with the investigation.

Becker was the subject of a separate ALERT investigation in February and ALERT officials say the "repeat offender" has a lifetime ban on having firearms.

The accused was scheduled to appear in Didsbury provincial court on Monday.
