Business cards for fake Calgary catering company lead to fentanyl seizure

Two men face 17 charges following a cocaine and fentanyl trafficking investigation that saw nearly $50,000 worth of drugs seized.

Calgary Police Service received a tip from a member of the public in September 2016 that drug dealers were handing out business cards titled 'TWJ's Catering Service.' Three names and contact numbers were listed on the cards, Calgary police said in a news release. 

Police believe no catering company existed and the business cards were a ruse.
