CALGARY – Police have arrested two men after seizing drugs and weapons from a Panorama Hills home last week.

Police executed a search warrant on a home in the 500 block of Panamount Boulevard N.W. on Tuesday, December 17.

They found firearms, money and drug manufacturing equipment, as well as 1.5 kilograms of cocaine and 1,250 grams of marijuana worth an estimated $160,000 and $12,500 respectively.

“It’s pretty significant,” says Acting S/Sgt Rob Patterson. “It’s not common, even in a city the size of Calgary, that we recover entire bricks of cocaine.”
