A pair of BC residents could be staring down a slew of charges after 162 kilograms of illegal cannabis that was destined for a home in southeast Calgary was intercepted.
Alberta Liquor, Gaming, and Cannabis (AGLC) said it’s Cannabis Enforcement Unit assisted the Calgary Police Service (CPS) to seize the drugs, which have an estimated street value of $1.5 million.
Investigators believe the weed was destined to be sold online.
“Illegal cannabis sales threaten public safety, fuel organized crime and undermine law-abiding businesses across Alberta. That’s why in 2024, the government granted AGLC the authority to investigate these operations — and we are incredibly pleased with the work of their investigative unit. Their efforts are making a real difference in holding illegal sellers accountable and protecting Albertans.”
Last year, the Alberta government the liquor and gaming branch the authority to investigate illegal cannabis operations.
