Blood Tribe Police downplay 'Methbridge' drug war, say they're 'on top of' increase in violence

LETHBRIDGE – Police in a southern Alberta First Nation are defending the safety of their city, saying the local service is “on top of” what it’s calling a moderate increase in drug-related violence.

Blood Tribe Police Chief Lee Boyd said the violence is to be expected with the rise of fentanyl, and suggested gang activity increases when rival groups are battling for the new business.
