Calgary… The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams has charged two men with numerous drug-related offences after executing a search warrant at a southwest Calgary residence.
With help from the Calgary Police Service, ALERT’s Combined Special Forces Enforcement Unit-Calgary (CFSEU-Calgary) arrested two men and searched a residence located in the 1800 block of 26 Avenue SW. The team found over two litres of Gamma Hydroxybutyric (GHB), commonly known as the ‘date-rape drug.’ If sold on the street, its value is approximately $20,000.
The search also revealed a small quantity of ecstasy, miscellaneous drug paraphernalia and over $8,000 cash.
