Charges laid, more than $8.8 million worth of drugs and cash seized

We have charged four men and seized more than $2 million in cash and $6.8 million worth of drugs in what is believed to be one of the largest drug seizures in CPS history.

In June 2026, our Drug Unit became aware of a residence believed to be associated to drug trafficking and launched an investigation.

Over the next four months, investigators identified four suspects believed to be operating a drug distribution network in Calgary and Edmonton. The investigation also included support from 16 units within CPS, as well as assistance from the Edmonton Police Service, RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency. In total, offers wrote 18 judicial authorizations and executed nine search warrants on residences and vehicles.

As part of the investigation, we identified five residences connected to the suspects, including four in Calgary and one in Cochrane. On Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, search warrants were executed at homes in:

• 6100 block of Penbrooke Drive N.E.
• 800 block of Bridge Crescent N.E.
• 8200 block of 8 Avenue S.E.
• 400 block of 19 Avenue N.E.
• 100 block of Willow Green in Cochrane, Alta.

These searches resulted in the seizure of:

• 40.3 kg of powder cocaine
• 6.9 kg of MDMA
• 4.3 kg of methamphetamine
• 1.6 kg of fentanyl
• 654 g of crack cocaine
• 31 g of ketamine
• 298,452 prescription pills, including Xanax, codeine, oxycodone, Percocet, Dilaudid and cychlorphine
• More than $2 million in Canadian and U.S. currency

Four men are now facing charges:

• Tomas BAHTA, 19, of Calgary, has been charged with one count of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026.
• Mohammed IBRAHIM, 31, of Calgary, has been charged with one count of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and 13 counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He was remanded and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, Oct. 16, 2026.
• Fozee IBRAHIM, 29, of Calgary, has been charged with one count each of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, as well as two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026.
