Three males facing multiple drug charges for targeting youth with “free samples” in Old Strathcona

Three males are facing multiple drug-related offences for allegedly providing free drug samples to youth in the Strathcona corridor on Wednesday, July 17 and Thursday July 18, 2014. The three suspects are alleged to have canvassed and offered youth free drug samples of base cocaine in packages that included the accused’s contact information for potential future purchases. The alleged curb-side transactions were made from the window of a white Dodge Ram pick-up truck, while the accused were parked in Old Strathcona near 103 Street and 83 Avenue.



Charged with trafficking, possession for the purpose and living of the proceeds of crime are Jesse Levesque, 22, and Chris Hefford of Edmonton, 22, and Dan Friedrick, 25, of Spruce Grove.



Members from the EPS Old Scona Beats and Drug Undercover Street Team (DUST) partnered on the two-day initiative, July 17 and 18, 2014, which primarily focused its resources on identifying drug traffickers targeting youth in the area.
