Alberta Sheriffs have shut down a drug house in Lethbridge for the second time this year due to illegal activity.
The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods unit obtained a court order against the owner of 1607 3 Avenue N. Investigators have closed the property for 90 days, starting at noon on Aug. 22.
After further evidence of continued illegal activities, SCAN fast-tracked the current closure to ensure the safety and comfort of residents and expedite the property’s sale to a different owner. The property was also ordered closed by Alberta Health Services on July 31 due to being “unfit for human habitation,” according to SCAN. All tenants were required to vacate the premises by Aug. 7.
Additionally, there was no running water, gas or power supplied to the home. “Extreme unsanitary conditions” were noted within the house, including dirt and grime, rotten food, garbage and used toilet paper in bins in the bathroom.
