Carstairs man among three suspects charged after Calgary-based drug trafficking investigation

Police seized nearly a quarter million dollars worth of various drugs and three loaded firearms this month from a handful of suspected Calgary-based drug traffickers.

Didsbury RCMP were among the partner agencies to assist the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams in the months-long investigation which also yielded about $47,000 in cash. Two Calgary addresses and four vehicles linked to the suspects were searched.

Two men from Calgary – a 26-year-old and a 27-year-old – along with a 28-year-old from Carstairs are facing drug-related charges and various firearms offences.

ALERT is committed to tackling serious and organized crime in the province and anyone who suspects drug or gang activity in their community is encouraged to contact their local police or provide tips anonymously through CRIMESTOPPERS.
