Calgary police say two men have been charged in connection with a cocaine and fentanyl traffickin­g investigat­ion.

Investigat­ors have also seized close to $50,000 in drugs as part of the bust.

A tip in September launched the investigat­ion after a member of the public said drug dealers were handing out business cards titled TWJ’s Catering Service with three names and contact numbers listed.

Police said during their investigat­ion, they saw one of the suspects dealing drugs on the property of a post-secondary school.

Officers searched two vehicles and homes on Monday, one in the 200 block of Fresno Place N.E. and one in the 0-100 block of West Springs Road S.W.

They seized 67 grams of crack cocaine, 742 fentanyl pills, 99 fentanyl/heroin pills, 31 grams of methamphet­amine, 118 grams of powder cocaine and $22,010 in cash.

A total of 17 charges have been laid against two men.

Jeffery Truong, 21, of Calgary is facing 14 drug and criminal coderelate­d charges.

Christian Lay, 24, of Calgary is facing three drug and criminal code-related charges.

Both are scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 4.
