A Queens Bench Justice in Calgary has granted a 27-year-old man conditional bail, overturning a previous decision to detain him.
In July, officers with the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) in Vancouver intercepted a parcel destined for Calgary video China that was declared as a muffler.
A white powder found in the parcel was determined to be fentanyl.
Later that month, Calgary police executed a search warrant on a home in the 2400 block of 14 Street S.W., where 122 grams of fentanyl was seized.
