Two Calgary men are facing a dozen drug trafficking charges after the RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime (FSOC) executed a search warrant and seized 1.2 kg of cocaine with a street value of around $100,000, a hand gun, cars and cash.
The Mounties say the charges were laid after a brief drug trafficking investigation.
According to police, they executed a search warrant at a Calgary apartment on Dec. 6, that was being used as a storage facility and searched two SUV’s.
“As a result of this coordinated search, police seized a total of 1.2 kg of cocaine which has an approximate value of $100,000. Officers also seized a loaded 9mm handgun, a Toyota RAV 4, a Land Rover Range Rover, and approximately $180,000 in cash.” Police said in a statement Thursday.
Uduakobong “Joseph” Ewitat, 31, and Farahah Rizwan, 28, both Calgary residents, have been arrested and charged.
