Two men are facing more than a dozen charges after an investigation into a stolen motorcycle led police to seize thousands of dollars in drugs, weapons, and ammunition from a northeast Calgary home.
Calgary police say earlier this month, officers were investigating a motorcycle that was reported stolen from the southeast community of Seton in the early morning hours of Aug. 4.
Evidence led investigators to a house in the 6700 block of Temple Drive NE where they thought the motorcycle was being stored.
Officers searched the home on Aug. 7 and recovered a large quantity of drugs, multiple weapons, and ammunition.
Police seized the stolen motorcycle, along with a large quantity of weapons and drugs:
- a disassembled Glock handgun
- a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 assault rifle
- a Winchester 12-gauge shotgun
- 36 rounds of 9 mm ammunition
- 38 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition
- 279 rounds of .223-calibre ammunition
- 14 rounds of .22LR-calibre ammunition
- approximately 87 grams of methamphetamine
- approximately 237 grams of psilocybin
- approximately 35 grams of cocaine
- 7,500 ml of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB)
- approximately seven grams of crack cocaine
Robert Cvitanovic, 53, and Rory William Dane Libbrecht, 25 were arrested and charged with several offences.
Police say Cvitanovic is charged with five counts of trafficking, three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, two counts of possession of restricted ammunition, two counts of breach of probation, hazardous storage of a firearm, possession of a weapon obtained by crime, driving while suspended, failure to comply with a release order, and proceeds of crime under $5,000.
His next court date is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 4.
Libbrecht is charged with four counts of failure to comply with a release order, and possession of crack cocaine.
