In the three cases, the drugs went to Calgary.
“By intercepting these drugs, we have kept harmful substances from our communities and collectively made our cities safer,” said the Surint. Jeff Bell, from the Calgary police.
“”What the officers do here in the cuts have a direct impact on the cities, the communities, the cities in which the Albertains live, “said the organization.” It affects all the facets of society – our health care, our law enforcement partners, our schools, our families, the communities – and you know, even drug consumers, is to preserve and protect life, “added damping.
