Five guns and $150K-worth of fentanyl seized in Calgary drug investigation

Calgary police have seized more than $150,000 worth of fentanyl following a tip from Toronto-area law enforcement.

Calgary police say more than $150,000 worth of fentanyl was seized as part of a recent drug investigation.

Officers launched the investigation in January following a tip from Ontario police about a potential drug trafficker.

Police took the suspect into custody during a traffic stop in Crescent Heights on April 16 after observing suspected drug trafficking activity.
