On June 18, 2020 the Maskwacis RCMP Community Response Unit - General Investigative Section (CRU-GIS) teamed up with the Wetaskiwin RCMP to execute a search warrant on a residence and vehicle in Wetaskiwin.

Maskwacis CRU-GIS were investigating drug trafficking in the Maskwacis area when a Wetaskiwin residence was identified as a location of interest. The search of the residence resulted in police locating cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl.

A stolen vehicle was recovered from the property. Another associated vehicle was located on June 19. This vehicle was searched under the warrant and over $6000 cash, oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray, methamphetamine and various controlled prescription pills were seized.

25-year-old Domanick Fraynn has been charged with nine counts including Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime. Fraynn was remanded for court on June 23 in Wetaskwin.

25-year-old Alyssa Soosay was charged with eight counts, including Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking and Possession of a Prohibited Weapon. Soosay was released on bail for court on August 4 in Wetaskiwin.

“We are happy to work with our neighbouring detachments,” said Cpl. Rob Simmonds of Maskwacis CRU-GIS, “Taking drug dealers off the streets has a positive impact on both of our communities and supports both of our strategies to reduce crime.”
