Calgary police arrest three men in murder plot

CALGARY – Police have laid charges against three men in connection to a murder plot over a gang-related rivalry.

Police allege the trio conspired to kill a man currently in prison, but say the plot was foiled due to their six month long investigation.

The would-be victim is currently behind bars serving a lengthy prison sentence for an unrelated shooting.

Police arrested 29-year-old Trong Minh Nguyen, 26-year-old Henry Le Nguyen and 26-year-old Byran James Balla on April 26th. All three are charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

Henry Nguyen is also charged with drug and weapons-related offences.

All three are set to appear in court on Friday.

During their investigation, police searched a Calgary home, seizing marijuana and cocaine, cash, cellphones, a loaded .38-calibre handgun, ammunition, knives and a machete.
