On the heels of the largest steroid bust in Canadian history in Edmonton, the Mounties in Fort McMurray have discovered another illegal anabolic steroid production lab.
Constable Ashley Quallie says officers were executing a search warrant at the home of a suspected drug dealer on Paris Crescent on Dec. 7, when they were surprised to find an anabolic steroid production lab in the basement.
She says it led to the seizure of approximately 1.6 liters of liquid steroids, 1.3 kg of raw steroid powders, 4500 steroid pills and a pill press, as well as other equipment; along with small amounts of cocaine and marihuana, and an unauthorized firearm.
“At this point we have no information to suspect that it’s connected to anything bigger,” explained Quallie. “I haven’t been led to believe that, so I have to say at this point no. But that could change as more information may be gathered by our general investigation section.”
The steroids were being produced and labeled as “Phoenix Laboratories.”
The charges against Daniel Dube, who is 27, include production of anabolic steroids and possession for the purpose of trafficking steroids, along with possession of cocaine, marihuana, property obtained by crime and an unauthorized firearm.
He’s also been charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and unsafe storage of a firearm.
Constable Quallie says they originally had the suspect under surveillance, and finally had enough for a search warrant when one of his neighbours received a package addressed to the suspect’s home and opened it anyway.
“There was no name on it and the person just happened to open it — from my understanding — and then noticed that it was this powder, and then brought it to the police station.”
She says the powder turned out to be a narcotic.
Back on Oct. 2, ALERT announced it had broken up a highly sophisticated underground steroid manufacturing and distribution operation in Edmonton, seizing $9.3-million worth of illegal steroids and laying charges against four people. (td)
