Two people are facing 84 drug, weapon and fraud charges following an investigation involving the Calgary police Guns and Gangs Unit that saw more than $275,000 in cash and $137,000 worth of drugs seized.

The investigation was launched June 12 after police were notified that the contents of a package being shipped to a home in Calgary didn’t match its description.

The package was examined and the item was determined to be a solvent trap, normally used for cleaning a firearm, which can easily be modified into a suppressor.

During the investigation, a 2017 Land Rover was seen parked outside a suspect residence, which was believed to be stolen.

Police executed a search warrant on Monday at a residence in the 1000 block of 15th Avenue S.W., where they seized:

  • Over 500 grams of methamphetamine
  • A small amount of cocaine, LSD and psilocybin
