Five charged in national online drug trafficking operation: The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has charged five individuals from Edmonton in relation to a national online drug trafficking ring.
Between March 2024 and January 2025, the Edmonton Drug and Gang Enforcement Unit (EDGE) investigated an online organization operating under the brand “BlueBuddhaCo”. The EPS learned that the organization functioned on a national scale, shipping approximately 8,700 packages of drugs across Canada while laundering proceeds through banking systems and cryptocurrency platforms.
The organization was advertised as an online illicit drug delivery service, promoting fast and secure nationwide shipping for a wide selection of controlled substances, including cocaine, MDMA, LSD, GHB and methamphetamine. As such, the extensive investigation involved assistance from policing partners across Canada, including the RCMP and Ottawa Police Service.
Search warrants were executed in January 2025 and revealed multiple storage and distribution locations in the city, including central Edmonton and the Hollick-Kenyon and Schonsee neighbourhoods. Police located controlled substances, drug-processing and packaging equipment, digital scales and shipping supplies.
Police estimate the street value of the drugs seized is approximately $224,000 and that this criminal organization received approximately $1.98 million through e‑transfer deposits.
In February 2026, the following individuals were charged with a total of 133 criminal offences including organized crime, trafficking, money laundering and proceeds of crime:
* Melvin Yong, 33
* Dung Nguyen, 66
* Gary Tan, 43
* Mila Then, 35
* Kevin Leung-Wan, 33
“This investigation exposed a well-organized criminal enterprise that distributed controlled substances across Canada while attempting to conceal millions of dollars in criminal proceeds,” says Staff Sergeant Jennifer McCann with the EPS’ Drug and Gang Enforcement Unit. “The complexity of this operation demanded a sustained, intelligence-led investigation involving extensive financial analysis, digital evidence and interagency collaboration.”
Police will continue to identify, investigate, and prosecute the people behind these types of online operations. Members of the public are encouraged to report any related websites or advertisements by taking a screenshot and contacting the EPS non-emergency line at 780-423-4567 or by visiting a police station.
The EPS would like to remind Edmontonians that any medication not prescribed by a medical professional is not safe to ingest and can pose significant risk to a person’s health and safety.

We’re Dead Serious about safe driving. Are you?
199 km/h. Posted limit: 100 km/h.
A black Genesis G70 Sport was caught travelling southbound on Anthony Henday Drive near Yellowhead Trail at nearly double the posted speed limit.
The 32-year-old driver received tickets for speeding and careless driving.
At that speed, there is little room for error. Speeding can kill, and no destination is worth someone’s life.
Slow down.

Safer Edmonton is showing promising results.
Through visible enforcement, intelligence-led policing and data-driven decision-making, EPS is seeing encouraging reductions in crime and violence.
From Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, 2026:
• Downtown: Average crime severity decreased 13.6% compared with the same period in 2025.
• West Edmonton: Violent crime decreased 17%, with targeted enforcement continuing in areas including Butler Park and Stony Plain Road.
“These trends continue to suggest what we expected: concentrated reactive and proactive enforcement, along with prevention and support from our partners, is helping us focus resources on the people, places and issues that are driving crime and disorder,” says EPS Police Operations Chief Devin Laforce.
There is more work to do, and Safer Edmonton will continue across the city.
