During a routine welfare check on October 10, 2025, in the Chrenek Acres neighborhood of Sherwood Park, RCMP officers uncovered a clandestine steroid production lab.

While assisting Child and Family Services, officers observed items indicative of steroid manufacturing.

Subsequently, a search warrant was obtained, leading to the seizure of multiple items associated with the production and distribution of steroids.

A 35-year-old man was arrested and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking a controlled substance, production of a controlled substance, and failing to comply with a release order.

He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

This incident underscores the ongoing efforts of the RCMP to combat illegal drug activities in Sherwood Park.

Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activities to local authorities to help maintain community safety.
