CALGARY – A 32-year-old Calgary man has been charged with multiple drug and weapons-related offences in relation to a drug trafficking network that’s been under investigation since November 2013.
On Jan. 29, 2015, police searched a home in the 4700 block of 17 Avenue N.W. and found drug paraphernalia, marijuana, cocaine, Oxycodone, MDMA and cannabis. Police say a 9-mm semi-automatic pistol, ammunition, pepper spray and machete were also seized.
