Two men charged, drugs, weapons and ammunition seized

We have charged two men with more than a dozen offences after a stolen motorcycle investigation led police to seizing thousands of dollars worth of drugs, dangerous weapons and ammunition from a residence in northeast Calgary.

Earlier this month, officers were investigating a motorcycle that was reported stolen from the southeast community of Seton in the early morning hours on Sunday, Aug. 4, 2024. Evidence then led them to a residence located in the 6700 block of Temple Drive N.E., where they believed the motorcycle was being stored.

As a result, our officers executed a search warrant at the residence on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024, in relation to the stolen motorcycle, and also recovered a large quantity of drugs, multiple weapons and ammunition.
