After investigating the trafficking of fentanyl for two months, the Calgary Police Service has shut down a Calgary-wide drug operation by seizing almost $200,000 worth of drugs and paraphernalia — mostly magic mushrooms.
The CPS received a tip in June about a man who was allegedly trafficking and manufacturing drugs to be sold in the Calgary area. Two men were arrested during a traffic stop on Friday, July 22. Their car contained various amounts of fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin, as well as a pill press used for fentanyl.
Officers also discovered a magic mushroom growing operation, a cocaine pill press and a pellet gun inside a home that was searched in the 6400 block of 4th Street NE.
The full list of what was seized:
- 13.7 kilograms of magic mushrooms, worth $136,884
- 65.5 grams powdered fentanyl, worth $43,688
- 28.3 grams of heroin, worth $11,320
