Fort Sask. home closed after almost 100 calls to RCMP, multiple arrests
Alberta Sheriffs have shuttered a home they say was disrupting a neighbourhood in Fort Saskatchewan with drug and criminal activity.
The home at 12 Elizabeth Drive was the source of 25 complaints between January and August 2024 – including complaints of suspicious persons, assaults, drug possession and drug trafficking.
Alberta Sheriffs report that RCMP arrested several occupants of the property throughout the year, and EMS and RCMP attended two drug overdoses at the home that September.
'Since 2022, RCMP have had almost 100 calls for service ranging from disturbances, assaults, mischief and thefts at this property,' said Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Staff Sgt. Scott Lande.
A warning letter was sent to the property owner and primary resident in November. The Alberta Sheriffs' Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) unit closed it Wednesday at noon using a community safety order.
The property will be boarded up, fenced off and all the locks will be changed. Everyone there was made to leave – including the former property owner – and no one will be allowed onto the property for 90 days.
'I want to thank SCAN and the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP for their dedication in helping residents take back their neighbourhood by shutting down a long-standing problem property that put the community at risk,' said Mike Ellis, minister of public safety and emergency services.
Since it was created in 2008, SCAN has issued more than 130 community safety orders.
