Calgary… Two people have been arrested and are facing drug trafficking charges after an Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team investigation into a Calgary medicinal marihuana grow-op.

During the six-week investigation, Green Team members witnessed behavior consistent with drug trafficking and evidence consistent with drug trafficking was also seized from the home including scoresheets, scales, packaging materials, and over one dozen cell phones.
In addition to the 107 marihuana plants, investigators also seized the following:
