JUST last November, Karman Singh Grewal, 24, of Langley and Ronjot Singh Dhami, 23, were among the seven arrested after three firearms and more than $40,000 in drugs and cash were seized from four homes in Alberta’s Grande Prairie as part of a drug trafficking investigation conducted by ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams).

Grewal was also arrested last October by ALERT along with Elson Blue Joy, 22, of Kelowna when police seized drugs worth more than $150,000 from two homes.
