Cold Lake RCMP Disrupt Crack Cocaine Delivery Service: Two Edmonton Residents Charged

In late 2023, the Cold Lake General Investigations Section (GIS) became aware of a group of individuals involved in illegal crack cocaine sales in the Cold Lake area.

With the assistance of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) in Edmonton, an investigation was initiated into this group. It was determined that a well-organized crack cocaine delivery service was operating in the area.

The investigation led to the execution of separate search warrants in Bonnyville and Cold Lake. As a result, police seized approximately 118 grams of crack cocaine, $3,900 in Canadian currency, multiple cell phones, and other paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.

Tezriel Willier (22), a resident of Edmonton, Alta., has been charged with two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance. Willier will appear in the Alberta Court of Justice in Cold Lake on October 9, 2024.

Tyler Jerome (35), also a resident of Edmonton, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime. Jerome will appear in the Alberta Court of Justice in Cold Lake on September 25, 2024
