West Edmonton drug house shut down after repeated police calls, Alberta Sheriffs say

A west Edmonton home that police say was the source of frequent criminal activity has been shut down by Alberta Sheriffs following months of neighbourhood complaints and more than 40 police visits.

The province confirmed Thursday that the residence at 15812 110A Avenue Northwest has been closed for 90 days, until February 3, 2026, under Alberta’s Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) Act. All occupants, including the property owner, have been ordered to leave while the building is boarded up, fenced and secured.

Officials say residents in the area had long reported suspicious behaviour, including people appearing to be under the influence of drugs and suspected thefts linked to visitors of the home. The property has been investigated by the SCAN unit four times since 2019.

Public Safety and Emergency Services Minister Mike Ellis said in a statement the property was connected to “dangerous and illegal activity” that created “chaos and disorder” in the surrounding community. A past inspection reportedly uncovered methamphetamine, weapons, cash and drug paraphernalia.

SCAN officers will continue to monitor the location while the investigation remains active. The program allows authorities to restrict access to properties tied to criminal or nuisance activity in an effort to restore safety in neighbourhoods across Alberta.
