'It's very good news," said Westlock RCMP Staff Sgt. Dwayne Rawson.
'Every time you pick one off there's another one that tries to come up to the plate and it's just (a matter of us staying) diligent and when these guys come in to zing them. Hopefully they'll start staying away from town."
One adult is facing numerous charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act including drug trafficking, and drug possession and will appear in Westlock Provincial Court.
