Calgary police say they have seized more than $1 million worth of drugs, including a large quantity of fentanyl, following a recent investigation.
In a news release, police said they collected evidence earlier this month on a group of people suspected of drug trafficking, leading to two search warrants being executed.
“From these search warrants we seized more than 11,000 grams of fentanyl, nearly 500 grams of methamphetamine, 200 grams of cocaine, 87 Oxycodone pills, along with smaller amounts of heroin, crack cocaine, and other unknown substances,” police said in the news release.
They estimate the total street value of the drugs seized at $1.187 million.
Police laid initial charges in the case June 16.
Noah Riley Doherty, 18, and Justin Fedoruk, 21, each face multiple drug trafficking charges and a charge for possession of the proceeds of crime. Fedoruk appeared in court Friday, and Doherty is expected to appear in court July 2.
“We know that there is no such thing as a safe street drug,” Calgary Police Service Supt. Cliff O’Brien said in the news release. “This investigation diverted a significant amount of drugs off our streets that had the potential to cause harm to the community. We will continue to target drug traffickers to keep our city safe.”
Police say the investigation is ongoing, with potential for more charges to be laid in the coming weeks.
