Three people are facing drug charges after police seized more than $120,000 worth of drugs from a home in northeast Calgary.
Police executed a warrant at a home in Winston Heights-Mountview last week, and found more drugs inside a vehicle.
Many items were seized:
- 10.6 kilograms of marijuana (worth approximately $105,000).
- 915 grams of magic mushrooms (worth approximately $9,100).
- 410 grams of cannabis candy shapes (worth approximately $4,100).
- 36 grams of cocaine (worth approximately $3,600)
- 122 grams of hashish (worth approximately $1,200).
- 420 grams of an unknown brown liquid in syringes (suspected of being hash oil).
- 9.9 grams of an unknown brown powder.
- $15,000 in cash.
Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta says the bust was part of an ongoing investigation.
"Information from a concerned citizen led us to this group and through investigation we gained, obviously, the evidence needed to complete a search warrant at this residence," he said.
The three suspects — two men and one woman — are due in court next Friday.
