Calgary… A joint investigation by ALERT and Strathmore RCMP has led to three arrests and the seizure of drugs and firearms.
On April 28, 2020, two homes and multiple vehicles were searched to conclude a short-term drug trafficking investigation. ALERT’s Calgary organized crime team worked with Strathmore RCMP on the investigation, along with Calgary Police providing assistance.
“Organized crime impacts every community, and in this case, ALERT was able to work with the local detachment to remove harmful drugs and potentially dangerous weapons out of the community,” said Insp. Shawn Wallace, ALERT Calgary.
Police seized drugs and firearms from the homes, including:
The firearms will be submitted for forensic analysis and ballistics testing.
Three people were arrested. One suspect was charged with multiple drug- and firearms-related offences:
Members of the public who suspect drug or gang activity in their community can call local police, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers is always anonymous.
