Members of Mexican La Familia drug cartel arrested in Edmonton

ALERT will hold a news conference to discuss the arrests on Wednesday

Officers in Alberta have arrested several members of the La Familia gang allegedly connected to Mexican drug cartels.

The arrests were made following an investigation by the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT), which is made up of police teams who focus on serious and organized crime, typically involving gangs, drug trafficking and child exploitation.

According to a statement released Tuesday, La Familia, which also has connections with the Mara Salvatrucha gang, is believed to be trying to gain control of the drug trade in Alberta.

After we banned Sudafed in Oregon years ago which was used by addicts to make meth La Familia was glad to move into Oregon and take over the business. All we did was create a government program to pay for that had no effect on the problem in fact the program created a bigger problem. La Familia is in Europe now also to the media and still making meth for the Oregon addicts according to my friends in Oregon.

ha's the vietnamese and native gangs will have something to say about that like a few years ago,when the somalis from tranna thought they could just walk in. they were all killed.

Ooh I have some friends who moved to Edmonton from Chapala on the work opportunity thing they had going. Any names yet?

I know Pedro disagrees, and I don't care, but I always call Edmonton "White City". It is either white with snow or white faces. I worked in the city core many months, many of the workers were from the core. I mentioned that I was going to Mexico for a few months after this job, they kept telling me that there was a Mexican in the city. One Mexican! A group of Mexicans would be stared at, but not in a hostile way. Calgary is much more diverse. They have so many Ethiopians working in Banff that Calgary has its own Coptic Christian Church.

i didn't know that you have been around here for over 7 1/2 years because that is when this was done just after i arranged for the twinning of barrhead,county of barrhead with chapala. that came first before the workers visas to a plant in barrhead.
your "friends' actually went to barrhead but some who stayed have now also moved to edmonchuk and calgary. i am in touch with some on facebook and they are doing quite well and don't need to hook up with narcos.
have a little more faith in your "friends"-eh!

I definitely do not think anyone I know is a narco in Canada, they are trying desperately to keep their immigration status and their jobs . I'm just interested, that's all.
One of my very good friends had developed a nasty Meth addiction and was quite "hooked up" before he left Chapala for Barrhead, that job literally saved his life. If you helped make that happen, good on you. He loves his job and his life in Canada.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - A Canadian man has been arrested in California after nearly 159 kilograms of cocaine was seized from a big rig.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the district attorney's office says the drug seizure occurred during a traffic stop in Norco, Calif., around noon Tuesday.
Prosecutors say a police dog led authorities to 156 brick-sized parcels of cocaine behind a fake compartment wall in the trailer of the truck.
Prosecutors say the Canadian driver, 44-year-old Samer Karanouh, has been arrested and is being held on $1 million bail in a county jail.
The district attorney's office says the drug sting came from an investigation by federal and local authorities into trafficking by Mexican cartels into the U.S.
