A search of two homes in Chestermere and Clagari, resulted in the discovery of a drug lab. A search warrant was issued to Calgary police during an eight-month investigation into a drug trafficking case. As a result, more than $5.7 million in drugs were seized and two people were arrested.
Officers obtained a search warrant for the home on April 7 and, as a result, reportedly discovered a sophisticated methamphetamine, fentanyl and cocaine lab. Law enforcement say they were able to seize 4.57 kilograms of methamphetamine, 27.21 kilograms of fentanyl powder, 3,132 fentanyl pills, 2 kilograms of cocaine, 43.7 grams of crack cocaine, 47,042 oxycodone pills, 716 Xanax pills, drug manufacturing equipment, one Glock handgun with silencer, an automatic firearm, 900 cartridges and $10,000 in Canadian currency.
The total value of the drugs and equipment seized is estimated at approximately $5.7 million.
Two arrests have also been reported at Calgary International Airport. Daniel Heng, 39, and Edric Padua-Balmes, 30, were arrested, both facing charges of manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with intent to traffic and a charge of possession of proceeds of crime.
