In March, the body of an unidentified man was discovered near the Bow River in Calgary. To assist in identifying the individual and ultimately locate his family, the Calgary Police Service (CPS) has released a composite sketch. The man’s death is believed to be non-criminal in nature, as per the CPS. An autopsy confirmed the absence of suspicious circumstances surrounding his demise.
Calgary police have charged eight people with 64 criminal offenses related to drug trafficking, possession of weapons, and the proceeds of crime. The operation, which ran from April 16 to April 25, was launched in response to an increase in localized overdoses and behavior consistent with drug trafficking at CTrain stations in northwest Calgary. Police said they partnered with investigative units and Calgary Transit peace officers to address the ongoing safety concerns and disrupt drug trafficking.
