Police seized more than $500,000 worth of cocaine and methamphetamine from a Calgary home during a recent search.
The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team's Calgary organized crime unit seized the drugs, along with five handguns, during a search of two homes and a vehicle on Aug. 13.
Police believe one of the homes, located in the Beltline, was used to process crack cocaine.
The drugs have an estimated street value of $509,000. Police were able to seize:
Of the five guns seized, one was previously reported as stolen, while another had its serial number defaced. ALERT officers also located a variety of ammunition, magazines and suppressors.
Huan Cao, 28, is facing multiple charges including possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime, unauthorized possession of a firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm, tampering with a serial number and possession of a prohibited device.
ALERT launched its investigation in May based on criminal intelligence about suspected drug dealers in the city.
