The teardown of a synthetic drug lab continues in Whitehorn Friday morning.
Police initially moved in on the lab in the northeast community on Wednesday, after a tip from the public.
Officers say a drug lab like this has not been found in Calgary for a decade.
Because police don’t know exactly what chemicals they’re dealing with, homes in the area have been evacuated.
Crews will continue to comb through the house, gathering and removing evidence.
Calgary Police Service spokesman, Kevin Brookwell, says all they know about the huge amount of chemicals and substances found is that one is a yellow powder, and the other is some sort of flat material used to make drugs like meth or ecstasy.
He says this shows how important it is for neighbours to call in suspicious activity.
