CALGARY – Four people are facing charges following a drug bust in northeast Calgary which resulted in the seizure of thousands of dollars in illegal narcotics.
Officers launched the two-day operation on Friday, focusing on a home in the 2500 block of Catalina Boulevard N.E. after receiving complaints of suspicious activity.
Police stopped a car that left the property. The car had been reported stolen. Two people in the vehicle were arrested and police say a search of it uncovered ammunition and methamphetamine.
Later that day, officers executed a high-risk traffic stop after witnessing a third person leave the same home. Police searching the vehicle said they found various amounts of meth, crack cocaine, marijuana and oxycodone tablets. Ammunition and a collapsible baton were also located, as well as a $25,000 Rolex watch which was allegedly stolen.
Officers executed a third and final traffic stop hours later, arresting one woman and retrieving marijuana, meth and GHB from inside her vehicle. Police said bear spray and a “large quantity of jewelry” was also found.
As part of the investigation, police searched the Catalina Boulevard home and a storage locker, at which time they seized a 12-gauge pistol-grip shotgun and ammunition and another collapsible baton.
In total, more than $35,000 in drugs was recovered.
Police have charged Lee Sheldon Kelner, 32, Krystal Paige McQuaid, 26, Rene Adrian Daniels, 35, and Lindsay Sharon Bezovie, 28, with numerous drugs and property related offences.
